ata: ahci: fail probe if BAR too small for claimed ports

When an AHCI controller is disabled in BIOS, its HOST_CAP register may
contain a bogus value, e.g. 0xFFFFFFFF.

Since CAP.NP (Number of Ports) is a zeroes based 5-bit register field,
a value of 0x1f means 32 ports. If CAP.NP claims more ports than can
physically fit within the mapped BAR region, accessing port registers
beyond the BAR boundary causes a kernel panic.

Add validation in ahci_init_one() to check that the BAR size is
sufficient for the number of ports claimed in CAP.NP. The check
calculates the required MMIO size as:

  required_size = 0x100 (global registers) + max_ports * 0x80

If required_size exceeds the actual BAR size, the probe fails with
-ENODEV, preventing the panic and providing a clear error message.
