libata: transport: Remove circular dependency at free time
[ Upstream commit d85fc67dd11e9a32966140677d4d6429ca540b25 ] Without this patch, failed probe would not free resources like irq. ata port tdev object currently hold a reference to the ata port object. Therefore the ata port object release function will not get called until the ata_tport_release is called. But that would never happen, releasing the last reference of ata port dev is done by scsi_host_release, which is called by ata_host_release when the ata port object is released. The ata device objects actually do not need to explicitly hold a reference to their real counterpart, given the transport objects are the children of these objects and device_add() is call for each child. We know the parent will not be deleted until we call the child's device_del().
