ide: add helpers for preparing sense requests

Browse source

This is in preparation of removing the queueing of a sense request out
of the IRQ handler path.

Use struct request_sense as a general sense buffer for all ATAPI
devices ide-{floppy,tape,cd}.

tj: * blk_get_request(__GFP_WAIT) can't be called from do_request() as
      it can cause deadlock.  Converted to use inline struct request
      and blk_rq_init().

    * Added xfer / cdb len selection depending on device type.

    * All sense prep logics folded into ide_prep_sense() which never
      fails.

    * hwif->rq clearing and sense_rq used handling moved into
      ide_queue_sense_rq().

    * blk_rq_map_kern() conversion is moved to later patch.
