libata: clear dev->ering in smarter way
dev->ering used to be cleared together with the rest of ata_device in
ata_dev_init() which is called whenever a probing event occurs.
dev->ering is about to be used to track probing failures so it needs
to remain persistent over multiple porbing events. This patch
achieves this by doing the following.
* Instead of CLEAR_OFFSET, define CLEAR_BEGIN and CLEAR_END and only
clear between BEGIN and END. ering is moved after END. The split
of persistent area is to allow hotter items remain at the head.
* ering is explicitly cleared on ata_dev_disable() and when device
attach succeeds. So, ering is persistent throug a device's life
time (unless explicitly cleared of course) and also through periods
inbetween disablement of an attached device and successful detection
of the next one.
