Subject: [PATCH v5] libata: Add ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_ON_AMD for Samsung 860 and 870 SSD.

Many users are reporting that the Samsung 860 and 870 SSD are having
various issues when combined with AMD SATA controllers and only
completely disabling NCQ helps to avoid these issues.

Always disabling NCQ for Samsung 860/870 SSDs regardless of the host
SATA adapter vendor will cause I/O performance degradation with well
behaved adapters. To limit the performance impact to AMD adapters,
introduce the ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_ON_AMD flag to force disable NCQ
only for these adapters.

Also, two libata.force parameters (noncqamd and ncqamd) are introduced
to disable and enable the NCQ for the system which equiped with AMD
SATA adapter and Samsung 860 and 870 SSDs. The user can determine NCQ
function to be enabled or disabled according to the demand.

Changes in v5:
* The libata.force parameters ncqamd and noncqamd are used to enable and
  disable the NCQ for the systems equiped with AMD SATA adapter and
  Samsung 860 and 870 SSDs.
* The character encoding of the patch comment was fixed.

Changes in v4:
* A function ata_dev_check_adapter() is added to check the vendor ID of
  the adapter.
* ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ_ON_AMD was modified to ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_ON_AMD to
  align with the naming convention.
* Commit messages were improved according to reviewer comments.

Changes in v3:
* ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ_ON_ASMEDIA_AMD_MARVELL was modified to
  ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ_ON_AMD.
* Codes were fixed to completely disable NCQ on AMD controller.
