[libata] Improve timeout handling

On a timeout call a device specific handler early in the recovery so that
we can complete and process successful commands which timed out due to IRQ
loss or the like rather more elegantly.

[Revised to exclude the timeout handling on a few devices that inherit from
 SFF but are not SFF enough to use the default timeout handler]
