Tejun Heo 8a8bc22332 libata: revert convert-to-block-tagging patches 
This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to
use block layer tagging.

 43a49cbdf3
 e013e13bf6
 2fca5ccf97

Although using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the
tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and
hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with
the current conversion.

The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for
non-NCQ commands.  Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI
starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made.  I'm not
sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it
doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the
frailty of ATA controllers.

So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc
allocation.
