Seems Samsung fixed this bug in kernel
(https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f3f5da624e0a891c34d8cd513c57f1d9b0c7dadc)
and blacklist is no longer needed. Maybe we should remove blacklist and
apply this patch instead?

Title:
  Samsung SSD 840 failed to get NCQ Send/Recv Log Emask 0x1 failed to

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Users with Samsung 8** SSD drives see miscellaneous errors and
  warning messages in the logs depending on the firmware level of the
  drive while booting or after running trim.

  [Test Case]

   * Run this script, and then check logs for errors.
  #!/bin/bash

  git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
  for i in {0..10} ; do
   cp -r linux linux$i
  done
  rm -rf linux*
  echo "sudo fstrim requires your password"
  sudo fstrim ./

  [Regression Potential]

   * There is very little regression potential as this change simply
  prevents NCQ trim from being used on Samsung 8** drives.

  [Other Info]

   * Commit is upstream.
   * Greatly increasing the timeout for the drives seems to relieve the timeout errors.  This may be due to trimming large numbers of sectors with single commands.  It may be prudent for future upstream to break up large trims into multiple requests on smaller regions.
