    pata_legacy: wait for async probing · 45bc955b

    The basic problem here that pata_legacy attaches the host, sees if it found
    any devices and detaches it if none were found.  With async probing, it's not
    waiting until discovery is finished before deciding it has no devices and
    trying the detach leading to this warning:

    Because it detaches before the probe is complete.
    
    One way to fix it would be to put an async_synchronize_full() before looking
    for devices, which this patch does.  A better way might be to separate libata
    into its own domain and only wait for that.
