libata: add refcounting to ata_host
After commit 9a6d6a2ddabb ("ata: make ata port as parent device of scsi host") manual driver unbind/remove causes use-after-free. Unbind unconditionally invokes devres_release_all() which calls ata_host_release() and frees ata_host/ata_port memory while it is still being referenced as a parent of SCSI host. When SCSI host is finally released scsi_host_dev_release() calls put_device(parent) and accesses freed ata_port memory. Add reference counting to make sure that ata_host lives long enough.
