ahci: Turn off DMA engines when there's no device attached

According to section 10.3.1 of the AHCI spec, PxCMD.ST must not be set
unless there's a device attached. Following this saves us a measurable
quantity of power and does not impair hotplug support. Based on a patch
by Kristen Carlson Accardi.
