libata: make sure port is thawed when skipping resets

When SCR access is available and the link is offline, softreset is
skipped as it only wastes time and some controllers don't respond very
well.  However, the skip path forgot to thaw the port, which not only
blocks further event notification from the port but also causes
repeated EH invocations on the same event on drivers which rely on
->thaw() to clear events if the IRQ is shared with another device or
port.

This problem has always been there but is uncovered by recent sata_nv
nf2/3 change which dropped hardreset support while maintaining SCR
access.  nf2/3 doesn't clear hotplug event mask from the interrupt
handler but relies on ->thaw() to clear them.  When the hardreset was
there, the reset action was never skipped and the port was always
thawed but, with the hardreset gone, ->prereset() determines that
there's no need for softreset and both ->softreset() and ->thaw() are
skipped.  This leads to stuck hotplug event in the IRQ status register
triggering hotplug event whenever IRQ is delieverd on the same IRQ.
As the controller shares the same IRQ for both ports, this happens on
every IO if one port is occpupied and the other isn't.

This patch fixes the problem by making sure that the port is thawed on
reset-skip path.

bko#11615 reports this problem.
