ata: libata: cleanup fua support detection
Move the detection of a device FUA support from
ata_scsiop_mode_sense()/ata_dev_supports_fua() to device scan time in
ata_dev_configure().
The function ata_dev_config_fua() is introduced to detect if a device
supports FUA and this support is indicated using the new device flag
ATA_DFLAG_FUA.
In order to blacklist known buggy devices, the horkage flag
ATA_HORKAGE_NO_FUA is introduced. Similarly to other horkage flags, the
libata.force= arguments "fua" and "nofua" are also introduced to allow
a user to control this horkage flag through the "force" libata
module parameter.
The ATA_DFLAG_FUA device flag is set only and only if all the following
conditions are met:
* libata.fua module parameter is set to 1
* The device supports the WRITE DMA FUA EXT command,
* The device is not marked with the ATA_HORKAGE_NO_FUA flag, either from
the blacklist or set by the user with libata.force=nofua
* The device supports NCQ (while this is not mandated by the standards,
this restriction is introduced to avoid problems with older non-NCQ
devices).
Enabling or diabling libata FUA support for all devices can now also be
done using the "force=[no]fua" module parameter when libata.fua is set
to 1.
