    block: add rq->resid_len · c3a4d78c

    rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue
    and the residual count on completion.  This duality creates some
    headaches.
    
    First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine
    what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing.  It could be
    the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the
    lower layers is using to keep track of residual count.  This
    complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus
    [__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands.
    Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the
    total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the
    request with the cached data length.
    
    Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count,
    ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred.  The residual count is
    an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear
    rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it
    alone means no data transfer occurred at all.  This reverse default
    behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some
    drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable.
    
    This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count.
    
    While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in
    ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.
    
    Boaz	: spotted missing conversion in osd
    Sergei	: spotted too early conversion to blk_rq_bytes() in ide-tape
    
    [ Impact: cleanup residual count handling, report 0 resid by default ]
