docs: sysfs-block-device: improve ncq_prio_enable documentation
NCQ priority is an optional feature of the NCQ feature set and should not be confused with the NCQ feature set itself. Clarify the description of the ncq_prio_enable attribute to avoid this confusion. Also add the missing documentation for the equivalent sas_ncq_prio_enable attribute.

+ (RW) This is the equivalent of the ncq_prio_enable attribute
+ file for SATA devices connected to a SAS host-bus-adapter
+ (HBA) implementing support for the SATA NCQ priority feature.
+ This file does not exist if the HBA driver does not implement
+ support for the SATA NCQ priority feature, regardless of the
+ device support for this feature.
