ide-atapi,tape,floppy: allow ->pc_callback() to change rq->data_len

Browse source 
Impact: allow residual count implementation in ->pc_callback()

rq->data_len has two duties - carrying the number of input bytes on
issue and carrying residual count back to the issuer on completion.
ide-atapi completion callback ->pc_callback() is the right place to do
this but currently ide-atapi depends on rq->data_len carrying the
original request size after calling ->pc_callback() to complete the pc
request.

This patch makes ide_pc_intr(), ide_tape_issue_pc() and
ide_floppy_issue_pc() cache length to complete before calling
->pc_callback() so that it can modify rq->data_len as necessary.

Note: As using rq->data_len for two purposes can make cases like this
      incorrect in subtle ways, future changes will introduce separate
      field for residual count.
