Yeah, shost state is still SHOST_RECOVERY during this period. But I
don't think this will affect host_eh_scheduled++.
In scsi_host_set_state(), if (state == old state), it will return 0. So:
ata_port_schedule_eh
ata_std_sched_eh
scsi_schedule_eh
if (scsi_host_set_state(shost, SHOST_RECOVERY) == 0) -> true
shost->host_eh_scheduled++

If we remove the disk when EH is abount to end (after 'ahci_thaw'), the
commands which needed to be executed on the disk has already been
completed, and EH will not time out.
