    ide: fix locking for manual DMA enable/disable ("hdparm -d") · 87996204

    Since hwif->ide_dma_check and hwif->ide_dma_on never queue any commands
    (ide_config_drive_speed() sets transfer mode using polling and has no error
    recovery) we are safe with setting hwgroup->busy for the time while DMA
    setting for a drive is changed (so it won't race against I/O commands in fly).
    
    I audited briefly all ->ide_dma_check/->ide_dma_on/->tuneproc/->speedproc
    implementations and they all look OK wrt to this change.
    
    This patch finally allowed me to close kernel bugzilla bug #8169
    (once again thanks to Patrick Horn for reporting the issue & testing patches).
