During S3 resume, AHCI driver sleeps 1 second to wait for the HBA

According to the AHCI 1.2 spec, We should poll the HOST_CTL
register,
and return error if the host reset is not finished within 1 second.

Test results show that the HBA reset can be done quickly(in usecs).
And this patch may save nearly 1 second during resume.

Looks good in principle. Just two things...

1. Please don't busy-loop. e.g. No one would notice 10ms delay
between
polls.

2. Please use ata_wait_register().

Thanks for review, refreshed patch attached. :)

During resume, sleep 1 second to wait for the HBA reset
to finish is a waste of time.

According to the AHCI 1.2 spec,
We should poll the HOST_CTL register,
and return error if the host reset is not
finished within 1 second.

Test results show that the HBA reset can be done quickly(in usecs).
And this patch may save nearly 1 second during resume.
