libata: fallback to the other IDENTIFY on device error, take#2
It seems the world isn't as frank as we thought and some devices lie about who they are. Fallback to the other IDENTIFY if IDENTIFY is aborted by the device. As this is the strategy used by IDE for a long time, it shouldn't cause too much problem.
