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.

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.
