[PATCH] libata: always use polling IDENTIFY

libata switched to IRQ-driven IDENTIFY when IRQ-driven PIO was
introduced.  This has caused a lot of problems including device
misdetection and phantom device.

ATA_FLAG_DETECT_POLLING was added recently to selectively use polling
IDENTIFY on problemetic drivers but many controllers and devices are
affected by this problem and trying to adding ATA_FLAG_DETECT_POLLING
for each such case is diffcult and not very rewarding.

This patch makes libata always use polling IDENTIFY.  This is
consistent with libata's original behavior and drivers/ide's behavior.
