Support config RX WATER MARK via sysfs when running at run-time;
A wrokaround for fix the exception happened to some WD HDD, found on
WD3000HLFS-01G6U1, WD3000HLFS-01G6U0, some SSD disks. The read performance
is also regression (about 30%) when use default value.

According to the latest documents, 0x10 is the default value of RX WATER MARK,
but exception/performance issue happened to some disks mentioned above.

The exception log as below when testing read performance with IOZone:
ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x7 SErr 0x800000 action 0x6 frozen
ata1: SError: { LinkSeq }
ata1.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED
ata1.00: cmd 60/00:00:ff:2c:14/01:00:02:00:00/40 tag 0 ncq 131072 in
res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
ata1.00: status: { DRDY }

ata1.00: status: { DRDY }

ata1.00: status: { DRDY }
ata1: hard resetting link
ata1: Hardreset failed, not off-lined 0
ata1: Signature Update detected @ 504 msecs
ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133
ata1.00: device reported invalid CHS sector 0
ata1.00: device reported invalid CHS sector 0
ata1.00: device reported invalid CHS sector 0
ata1: EH complete

The exception/performance can be resolved when RX WATER MARK value is 0x16.
