PATCH: Fix error handling for drives which clear the FIFO on error

[Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>]

If the controller FIFO cleared automatically on error we must not try
and drain it as this will hang some chips.

Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>

Based in concept on a broken patch from -mm some while back
