[PATCH] IDE error handling fixes

In 2.6.15.1 I encountered some IDE crashes when unplugging IDE cables to
emulate disk errors.  Below is a patch against 2.6.16 which I think still
applies.

1.  The first BUG_ON could trigger when a PREFLUSH IO fails (it would
   fail the original barrier request which hasn't been marked REQ_STARTED
   yet).

2. the rq could have been dequeued already (same as 1).

3.  HWGROUP(drive)->rq could be NULL because of the ide_error() several
   lines earlier.
