libata-acpi: implement dev->gtf_cache and evaluate _GTF right after _STM during resume

On certain implementations, _GTF evaluation depends on preceding _STM
and both can be pretty picky about the configuration.  Using _GTM
result cached during controller initialization satisfies the most
neurotic _STM implementation.  However, libata evaluates _GTF after
reset during device configuration and the hardware state can be
different from what _GTF expects and can cause evaluation failure.

This patch adds dev->gtf_cache and updates ata_dev_get_GTF() such that
it uses the cached value if available.  Cache is cleared with a call
to ata_acpi_clear_gtf().

Because for SATA ACPI nodes _GTF must be evaluated after _SDD which
can't be done till IDENTIFY is complete, _GTF caching from
ata_acpi_on_resume() is used only for IDE ACPI nodes.
