libata: disable ATAPI AN by default
commit e7ecd435692ca9bde9d124be30b3a26e672ea6c2 upstream. There are ATAPI devices which raise AN when hit by commands issued by open(). This leads to infinite loop of AN -> MEDIA_CHANGE uevent -> udev open() to check media -> AN. Both ACS and SerialATA standards don't define in which case ATAPI devices are supposed to raise or not raise AN. They both list media insertion event as a possible use case for ATAPI ANs but there is no clear description of what constitutes such events. As such, it seems a bit too naive to export ANs directly to userland as MEDIA_CHANGE events without further verification (which should behave similarly to windows as it apparently is the only thing that some hardware vendors are testing against). This patch adds libata.atapi_an module parameter and disables ATAPI AN by default for now.
