libata: improve EH internal command timeout handling
ATA_TMOUT_INTERNAL which was 30secs were used for all internal commands which is way too long when something goes wrong. This patch implements command type based stepped timeouts. Different command types can use different timeouts and each command type can use different timeout values after timeouts. ie. the initial timeout is set to a value which should cover most of the cases but not too long so that run away cases don't delay things too much. After the first try times out, the second try can use longer timeout and if that one times out too, it can go for full 30sec timeout. IDENTIFYs use 5s - 10s - 30s timeout and all other commands use 5s - 10s timeouts. This patch significantly cuts down the needed time to handle failure cases while still allowing libata to work with nut job devices through retries.
