Public bug reported:
[Impact]
When a SATA device, attached to a SAS controller, begins generating errors
(e.g. device failing, or someone yanked it), the SAS error handling will
complete, but may leave zombie ATA commands that never get properly
processed/freed. This can cause some ugly messages on the console, and
eventually leads to a system hang-up.

[Test Case]
I don't have a reliable reproducer for this, but one possible test is to yank
an active/hotpluggable SATA disk from its controller and see if the above
symptoms occur.
[Regression Risk]
This is a clean cherry-pick from upstream, so any regressions should have
upstream support. As of this writing, there are no changesets in linux-next
marked as Fixing this commit, implying that upstream has not yet found/fixed
any bugs related to it.
