ahci: unify sglist preparation

The intent of this patch is to further unify the creation and
deletion of the sglist used for all AHCI transfers, including
emulated PIO, ATAPI R/W, and native DMA R/W.

By replacing ahci_start_transfer's call to ahci_populate_sglist
with ahci_dma_prepare_buf, we reduce the number of direct calls
where we manipulate the scatter-gather list in the AHCI code.

To make this switch, the constant "0" passed as an offset
in ahci_dma_prepare_buf is adjusted to use io_buffer_offset.

For DMA pathways, this has no effect: io_buffer_offset is always
updated to 0 at the beginning of a DMA transfer loop regardless.
DMA pathways through ide_dma_cb() update the io_buffer_offset
accordingly, and for circumstances where we might make several
trips through this loop, this may actually correct a design flaw.

For PIO pathways, the newly updated ahci_dma_prepare_buf will
now prepare the sglist at the correct offset. It will also set
io_buffer_size, but this is not used in the cmd_read_pio or
cmd_write_pio pathways.
