@luojiaxing, can you please test this?

So we can see something like atapi_eh_tur() -> ata_exec_internal(), 
which is a ATAPI NONDATA and has DMA_NONE, so should be ok.

Other cases, like those using the xlate function on the qc for 
ATA_PROT_NCQ_NODATA, could be checked further.

For now, we're just trying to fix the fix.
