ata: Add a new flag to destinguish sas controller

SAS controller has its own tag allocation, which doesn't directly match to ATA
tag, so SAS and SATA have different code path for ata tags. Originally we use
port->scsi_host (98bd4be1) to destinguish SAS controller, but libsas set
->scsi_host too, so we can't use it for the destinguish, we add a new flag for
this purpose.

Without this patch, the following oops can happen because scsi-mq uses
a host-wide tag map shared among all devices with some integer tag
values >= ATA_MAX_QUEUE.  These unexpectedly high tag values cause
__ata_qc_from_tag() to return NULL, which is then dereferenced in
ata_qc_new_init().
