    Refactoring of the Atari floppy driver when converting to blk-mq
    has broken the state machine in not-so-subtle ways:
    
    finish_fdc() must be called when operations on the floppy device
    have completed. This is crucial in order to relase the ST-DMA
    lock, which protects against concurrent access to the ST-DMA
    controller by other drivers (some DMA related, most just related
    to device register access - broken beyond compare, I know).
    
    When rewriting the driver's old do_request() function, the fact
    that finish_fdc() was called only when all queued requests had
    completed appears to have been overlooked. Instead, the new
    request function calls finish_fdc() immediately after the last
    request has been queued. finish_fdc() executes a dummy seek after
    most requests, and this overwrites the state machine's interrupt
    hander that was set up to wait for completion of the read/write
    request just prior. To make matters worse, finish_fdc() is called
    before device interrupts are re-enabled, making certain that the
    read/write interupt is missed.
    
    Shifting the finish_fdc() call into the read/write request
    completion handler ensures the driver waits for the request to
    actually complete. With a queue depth of 2, we won't see long
    request sequences, so calling finish_fdc() unconditionally just
    adds a little overhead for the dummy seeks, and keeps the code
    simple.
    
    While we're at it, kill ataflop_commit_rqs() which does nothing
    but run finish_fdc() unconditionally, again likely wiping out an
    in-flight request.
