Ard Biesheuvel d312fefea8 ahci: don't ignore result code of ahci_reset_controller()
ahci_pci_reset_controller() calls ahci_reset_controller(), which may
fail, but ignores the result code and always returns success. This
may result in failures like below

  ahci 0000:02:00.0: version 3.0
  ahci 0000:02:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0003)
  ahci 0000:02:00.0: SSS flag set, parallel bus scan disabled
  ahci 0000:02:00.0: controller reset failed (0xffffffff)
  ahci 0000:02:00.0: failed to stop engine (-5)
    ... repeated many times ...

  [<ffff000008083918>] do_one_initcall+0x38/0x120

where an obvious hardware level failure results in an unnecessary 15 second
delay and a subsequent crash.

So record the result code of ahci_reset_controller() and relay it, rather
than ignoring it.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
