libata: during revalidation, check n_sectors after device is configured
Device might be resized during ata_dev_configure() due to HPA or (later) ACPI _GTF. Currently it's worked around by caching n_sectors before turning off HPA. The cached original size is overwritten if the device is reconfigured without being hardreset - which always happens after configuring trasnfer mode. If the device gets hardreset for some reason after that, revalidation fails with -ENODEV. This patch makes size checking more robust by moving n_sectors check from ata_dev_reread_id() to ata_dev_revalidate() after the device is fully configured. No matter what happens during configuration, a device must have the same n_sectors after fully configured to be treated as the same device.
