[patch 19/24] s390: fix endless retry loop in tape driver.

If a tape device is assigned to another host, the interrupt for
the assign operation comes back with deferred condition code 1.
Under some conditions this can lead to an endless loop of retries.
Check if the current request is still in IO in deferred condition
code handling and prevent retries when the request has already
been cancelled.
