Reverted upstream, as David Zeuthen objected to this. Quoting:

1. Checking if a disk is asleep does not wake up the disk (unless its
firmware is broken).
2. It's not atypical to have disks without any IO for _days_. We still
want to check SMART status for disks in this case.

If people have disks with broken firmware there are other ways to have
udisks not read their SMART status.
