Adds an additional check if the ``smartctl`` utility is present from the
``smartmontools`` package, which performs an ATA disk specific check that
should prevent ATA Secure Erase from being performed if a pass-thru
device is detected that requires a non-ATA command signling sequence.
Devices such as these can be `smart` disk interfaces such as
RAID controllers and USB disk adapters, which can cause failures
when attempting to Secure Erase, which may render the disk unreachable.
