libata: Prevent interface errors with Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex
commit c531077f40abc9f2129c4c83a30b3f8d6ce1c0e7 upstream. When using my Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex eSATAp external disk enclosure, interface errors are always seen until 1.5Gbps is negotiated [1]. This occurs using any disk in the enclosure, and when the disk is connected directly with a generic passive eSATAp cable, we see stable 3Gbps operation as expected. Blacklist 3Gbps mode to avoid dataloss and the ~30s delay bus reset and renegotiation incurs.
