[PATCH] floppy smp (and misc) fixes

[Jens Axboe]

Hi,

There are several smp races in the 2.4.21-rc floppy driver that can
cause a process writing/reading to the drive to stall forever. Basically
it quits out of request handling with requests pending. I verified that
these requests were not seen by the floppy driver yet. It went to unlock
the drive in a bad state.

Additionally, I put a smaller limit on requests sizes. It doesn't make
any sense to have 128 * 255 sectors pending in the write queue (about
16MiB of data) and it just causes huge latencies when someone wants to
stop a dd, for instance.

With this patch I cannot reproduce any more floppy hangs on a 4-way.
