libata: fix unexpectedly frozen port after ata_eh_reset()

Browse Source 
To work around controllers which can't properly plug events while
reset, ata_eh_reset() clears error states and ATA_PFLAG_EH_PENDING
after reset but before RESET is marked done.  As reset is the final
recovery action and full verification of devices including onlineness
and classfication match is done afterwards, this shouldn't lead to
lost devices or missed hotplug events.

Unfortunately, it forgot to thaw the port when clearing EH_PENDING, so
if the condition happens after resetting an empty port, the port could
be left frozen and EH will end without thawing it, making the port
unresponsive to further hotplug events.

Thaw if the port is frozen after clearing EH_PENDING.  This problem is
reported by Bruce Stenning in the following thread.

stable: I think we should weather this patch a bit longer in -rcX
	before sending it to -stable.  Please wait at least a month
	after this patch makes upstream.  Thanks.

-v2: Fixed spelling in the comment per Dave Howorth.
