[PATCH] ide: Fix crash on repeated reset

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

mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl (Michał Mirosław) [1] reported a
problem (bugzilla #7023) where a user initiated reset while the IDE
layer was already resetting the channel caused a crash, and provided a
rough fix.

This is a slightly cleaner version of the fix which tracks the reset
state and blocks further reset requests while a reset is in progress. 

Note this is not a security issue - random end users can't access the
ioctl in question anyway.


[1] This is what bugzilla.kernel.org calls him anyway
