ide: correctly prevent IDE timer expiry function to run if request was already handled
It is possible for the timer expiry function to run even though the request has already been handled: ide_timer_expiry() only checks that the handler is not NULL, but it is possible that we have handled a request (thus clearing the handler) and then started a new request (thus starting the timer again, and setting a handler). A simple way to exhibit this is to set the DMA timeout to 1 jiffy and run dd: The kernel will panic after a few minutes because ide_timer_expiry() tries to add a timer when it's already active. To fix this, we simply add a request generation count that gets incremented at every interrupt, and check in ide_timer_expiry() that we have not already handled a new interrupt before running the expiry function.
