libata: improve SATA PHY speed down logic

sata_down_spd_limit() first reads the current SPD from SStatus and
limit the speed to the lower one of one below the current limit or one
below the current SPD in SStatus.  SPD may not be accessible or valid
when SPD down is requested making sata_down_spd_limit() fail when it's
most needed.

This patch makes the current SPD cached after each successful reset
and forces GEN I speed (1.5Gbps) if neither of SStatus or the cached
value is valid, so sata_down_spd_limit() is now guaranteed to lower
the speed limit if lower speed is available.
