[PATCH v2] nvme: add quirk to force medium priority for SQ creation

Some P3100 drives have a bug where they think WRRU (weighted round
robin) is always enabled, even though the host doesn't set it. Since
they think it's enabled, they also look at the submission queue
creation priority. We used to set that to MEDIUM by default,
but that was removed in commit 81c1cd98351b. This causes various
issues on that drive. Add a quick to still set MEDIUM priority
for that controller.

Fixes: 81c1cd98351b ("nvme/pci: Don't set reserved SQ create flags")

v2: Too quick a forward port, forgot to bump the quirk bit entry.
