AFAIK, libsas does not support multiple devices on the same port. So
this change is ok for libsas.

libsas's does not support pmp either, and I do not see any future plans
to support pmp.

So the above change (needs a ATA_FLAG_SAS_HOST check) looks good to me.
It's better to make libsas behave as other ata drivers so that we can
drop the ATA_FLAG_SAS_HOST check. But this need tons of work for libsas.
