[PATCH] ata: fixes kernel crash while tracing ata_eh_link_autopsy event

When tracing ata link error event, the kernel crashes when the disk is
removed due to NULL pointer access by trace_ata_eh_link_autopsy API.
This occurs as the dev is NULL when the disk disappeared. Given that
the trace routine requires only the link info, pass the link info instead
of passing dev pointer to fix this kernel crash.
