That still does the wrong thing. Put in a write-protected floppy, try to

The problem is that we need to wait until the floppy driver next
checks the read status on the drive. I think to get it completely
right will take moving bits of the floppy driver around, unless I'm
being stupid. I'm planning to do that too though.
In the meanwhile I think we should revert back to the 2.6.14 version of
floppy.c - the present problem is probably worse than the one which it
kinda-fixes.
I think that's best, because there are few people (relatively) using
floppy, and those who are probably are used to old behaviour.
