ide: clean up timed out request handling
8f6205cd introduced a bug where a timed out DMA request is never requeued and lost. 6072f749 fixed this by making ide_dma_timeout_retry() requeue the request itself. While the fix is correct, it makes DMA and non-DMA paths asymmetric regarding how the in flight request is requeued. As long as hwif->rq is set, the IDE driver is assuming ownership of the request and the request should either be completed or requeued when clearing hwif->rq. In the timeout path, the ide driver holds onto the request as long as the recovery action (ie. reset) is in progress and clears it after the state machine is stopped (ide_stopped return), so the existing requeueing logic is correct. The bug occurred because ide_dma_timeout_retry() explicitly clears hwif->rq without requeueing it. ide_dma_timeout_retry() is called only by ide_timer_expiry() and returns ide_started only when ide_error() would return it - ie. after r...
