libata: during revalidation, check n_sectors after device is configured

Browse source

Device might be resized during ata_dev_configure() due to HPA or
(later) ACPI _GTF.  Currently it's worked around by caching n_sectors
before turning off HPA.  The cached original size is overwritten if
the device is reconfigured without being hardreset - which always
happens after configuring trasnfer mode.  If the device gets hardreset
for some reason after that, revalidation fails with -ENODEV.

This patch makes size checking more robust by moving n_sectors check
from ata_dev_reread_id() to ata_dev_revalidate() after the device is
fully configured.  No matter what happens during configuration, a
device must have the same n_sectors after fully configured to be
treated as the same device.
