Subject: [PATCH] ide: improve handling of Power Management requests

Make hwif->rq point to PM request during PM sequence and do not allow
any other types of requests to slip in (the old comment was never correct
as there should be no such requests generated during PM sequence).

Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@xxxxxxxxx>

This was tested in the past (with an additional testing from Borislav)
however there were block layer changes in the meantime so you may want
to give it some more testing time just to be sure.
