sata_nv: use ADMA for NODATA commands

Some problems showed up recently with cache flush commands timing out on
sata_nv.  Previously these commands were always handled by transitioning to
legacy mode from ADMA mode first.  The timeout problem was worked around
already by a change to the interrupt handling code for legacy mode, but for
non-data commands like these it appears we can handle them in ADMA mode, so
the switch to legacy mode is not needed.

This patch changes the behavior so that we use ADMA mode to submit
interrupt-driven commands with ATA_PROT_NODATA protocol.  In addition to
avoiding the problem mentioned above entirely, this avoids the overhead of
switching to legacy mode and back to ADMA mode for handling cache flushes.
When handling non-DMA-mapped commands, we leave the APRD blank and clear
the NV_CPB_CTL_APRD_VALID field in the CPB so the controller does not
attempt to read it.
