[PATCH v6 5/7] ata: libata: Fix FUA handling in ata_build_rw_tf()

If a user issues a write command with the FUA bit set for a device with
NCQ support disabled (that is, the device queue depth was set to 1), the
LBA 48 command WRITE DMA FUA EXT must be used. However,
ata_build_rw_tf() ignores this and first tests if LBA 28 can be used
based on the write command sector and number of blocks. That is, for
small FUA writes at low LBAs, ata_rwcmd_protocol() will cause the write
to fail.

Fix this by preventing the use of LBA 28 for any FUA write request.

Given that the WRITE MULTI FUA EXT command is marked as obsolete in the
ATA specification since ACS-3 (published in 2013), remove the
ATA_CMD_WRITE_MULTI_FUA_EXT command from the ata_rw_cmds array.
