Taras Kondratiuk 2623c7a5f2 libata: add refcounting to ata_host
After commit 9a6d6a2dda ("ata: make ata port as parent device of scsi
host") manual driver unbind/remove causes use-after-free.

Unbind unconditionally invokes devres_release_all() which calls
ata_host_release() and frees ata_host/ata_port memory while it is still
being referenced as a parent of SCSI host. When SCSI host is finally
released scsi_host_dev_release() calls put_device(parent) and accesses
freed ata_port memory.

Add reference counting to make sure that ata_host lives long enough.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
