sata_promise: don't classify overruns as HSM errors

When sata_promise encounters an overrun or underrun error it
translates that to a libata AC_ERR_HSM, causing a hard reset.
Since over/under-runs were thought to be rare and transient,
this action seemed reasonable.

Unfortunately it turns out that the controller throws overrun
errors when e.g. hal polls a CD or DVD writer containing blank
media, causing long sequences of hard resets and retries before
EH finally gives up.

This patch updates sata_promise to classify over/under-runs as
AC_ERR_OTHER instead. This allows libata EH and upper layers to
retry or fail the operation as they see fit without the disruption
caused by repeated hard resets.

This fixes a problem using a DVD-RAM drive with sata_promise,
reported by Thomas Schorpp. I also tested it on a DVD-RW drive.
