ata: libata-eh: Fix detection of deferred qc timeouts

If the ata_qc_for_each_raw() loop finishes without finding a matching SCSI
command for any QC, the variable qc will hold a pointer to the last element
examined, which has the tag i == ATA_MAX_QUEUE - 1. This qc can match the
port deferred QC (ap->deferred_qc).

If that happens, the condition qc == ap->deferred_qc evaluates to true
despite the loop not breaking with a match on the SCSI command for this QC.
In that case, the error handler mistakenly intercepts a command that has
not been issued yet and that has not timed out, and thus erroneously
returning a timeout error.

Fix the problem by checking for i < ATA_MAX_QUEUE in addition to
qc == ap->deferred_qc.

The problem was found by an experimental code review agent based on
gemini-3.1-pro while reviewing backports into v6.18.y.
