Subject: [PATCH] ata: Disable queued TRIM for Samsung 860 SSDs

Despite the unsubstantiated claim from Samsung that "the improved
queued trim enhances Linux compatibility" this does not appear to be
true, even on Intel SATA controllers:

Bug 203475 - Samsung 860 EVO queued TRIM issues
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203475

Disable queued TRIM for all Samsung 860 SSDs. Only the EVO has been
reported as having this problem, but the original justification for
enabling appears to be based on marketing material with no explanation
of what has been changed to make the 860 work properly when the earlier
840 and 850 both have the same issue.
