libata-pmp-prep: implement ops->qc_defer()

Controllers which support PMP have various restrictions on which
combinations of commands are allowed to what number of devices
concurrently.  This patch implements ops->qc_defer() which determines
whether a qc can be issued at the moment or should be deferred.

If the function returns ATA_DEFER_LINK, the qc will be deferred until
a qc completes on the link.  If ATA_DEFER_PORT, until a qc completes
on any link.  The defer conditions are advisory and in general
ATA_DEFER_LINK can be considered as lower priority deferring than
ATA_DEFER_PORT.

ops->qc_defer() replaces fixed ata_scmd_need_defer().  For standard
NCQ/non-NCQ exclusion, ata_std_qc_defer() is implemented.  ahci and
sata_sil24 are converted to use ata_std_qc_defer().

ops->qc_defer() is heavier than the original mechanism because full qc
is prepped before determining to defer it, but various information is
needed to determine defer conditinos and fully translating a qc is the
only way to supply such information in generic manner.

IMHO, this shouldn't cause any noticeable performance issues as

* for most cases deferring occurs rarely (except for NCQ-aware
  cmd-switching PMP)
* translation itself isn't that expensive
* once deferred the command won't be repeated until another command
  completes which usually is a very long time cpu-wise.
