Most drives rewind the tape when the device is reset. Reading
and writing are not allowed until something is done to make
the tape position match the user's expectation (e.g.,
rewind the tape). Add MTIOCGET and MTLOAD to operations allowed
after reset. MTIOCGET is modified to not touch the tape if
pos_unknown is non-zero. The tape location is known after MTLOAD.
