For attaining a qc tag for a SAS host we need to allocate a bit in
ata_port.sas_tag_allocated bitmap.

However we already have a unique tag per device in range
[0, ATA_MAX_QUEUE) in the scsi cmnd budget token, so just use that
instead.

The valid range is [0, ATA_MAX_QUEUE - 1]. Tag ATA_MAX_QUEUE is ATA_TAG_INTERNAL which is never allocated as a valid device tag but used directly in ata_exec_internal().

But that is what I have in [0, ATA_MAX_QUEUE), which is same as [0, ATA_MAX_QUEUE - 1].

Thanks,
