[PATCH 2.6.13] ide: fix null request pointer for taskfile ioctl

From: Timothy Thelin
Date: Fri Sep 09 2005 - 16:42:32 EST


When doing ioctl HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE, the ide_task_t's
request pointer is never set, but flagged_taskfile and
do_rw_taskfile pass it as a parameter to the prehandler.
The kernel will oops taskfile pio-out commands because of this
(taskfile pio-in doesn't use a prehandler). This fix sets the
request pointer at the time the request is created to stop this
oops.
