chore(nvme): drop default_ps_max_latency_us=100000, the kernel default

drivers/nvme/host/core.c defaults default_ps_max_latency_us to 100000, so
the "relaxed" APST cap on ai and its copy on aquamarine set the value the
kernel already uses. Keep ai's history and rollback recipe as a comment,
and stop the aquamarine pcie_aspm=off comment from citing WA-008, which
never covered it. Removes WA-008.
