libata: remove libata.spindown_compat

With STANDBYDOWN tracking added, libata.spindown_compat isn't
necessary anymore.  If userspace shutdown(8) issues STANDBYNOW, libata
warns.  If userspace shutdown(8) doesn't issue STANDBYNOW, libata does
the right thing.  Userspace can tell whether kernel supports spindown
by testing whether sysfs node manage_start_stop exists as before.

-What: libata.spindown_compat module parameter
+What: libata spindown skipping and warning
 When: Dec 2008
-Why:  halt(8) synchronizes caches for and spins down libata disks
-      because libata didn't use to spin down disk on system halt
-      (only synchronized caches).
-      Spin down on system halt is now implemented and can be tested
-      using sysfs node /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop.
+Why:  Some halt(8) implementations synchronize caches for and spin
+      down libata disks because libata didn't use to spin down disk on
+      system halt (only synchronized caches).
+      Spin down on system halt is now implemented.  sysfs node
+      /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop is present if
+      spin down support is available.
       Because issuing spin down command to an already spun down disk
-      makes some disks spin up just to spin down again, the old
-      behavior needs to be maintained till userspace tool is updated
-      to check the sysfs node and not to spin down disks with the
-      node set to one.
-      This module parameter is to give userspace tool the time to
-      get updated and should be removed after userspace is
-      reasonably updated.
+      makes some disks spin up just to spin down again, libata tracks
+      device spindown status to skip the extra spindown command and
+      warn about it.
+      This is to give userspace tools the time to get updated and will
+      be removed after userspace is reasonably updated.
