libata: add missing NULL pointer check to ata_eh_reset()
drivers/ata/libata-eh.c +2403 ata_eh_reset(80) warning: variable derefenced before check 'slave' Please note that this is _not_ a real bug at the moment since ata_eh_context structure is embedded into ata_list structure and the code alwas checks for 'slave' before accessing 'sehc'. Anyway lets add missing check and always have a valid 'sehc' pointer (which makes code easier to understand and prevents introducing some possible bugs in the future).
