ide: dequeue in-flight request
ide generally has single request in flight and tracks it using
hwif->rq and all state handlers follow the following convention.
* ide_started is returned if the request is in flight.
* ide_stopped is returned if the queue needs to be restarted. The
request might or might not have been processed fully or partially.
* hwif->rq is set to NULL, when an issued request completes.
So, dequeueing model can be implemented by dequeueing after fetch,
requeueing if hwif->rq isn't NULL on ide_stopped return and doing
about the same thing on completion / port unlock paths. These changes
can be made in ide-io proper.
In addition to the above main changes, the following updates are
necessary.
* ide-cd shouldn't dequeue a request when issuing REQUEST SENSE for it
as the request is already dequeued.
* ide-atapi uses request queue as stack when issuing REQUEST SENSE to
put the REQUEST SENSE in front of the failed request. This now
needs to be done using requeueing.
