docs: sysfs-block-device: improve ncq_prio_enable documentation
NCQ priority is an optional feature of the NCQ feature set and should
not be confused with the NCQ feature set itself. Clarify the
description of the ncq_prio_enable attribute to avoid this confusion.

Also add the missing documentation for the equivalent
sas_ncq_prio_enable attribute.
