f68ec8379e88502b4841a110c070e9b118d3151c ide: Set BSY bit during FLUSH
The implementation of the ATA FLUSH command invokes a flush at the block
layer, which may on raw files on POSIX entail a synchronous fdatasync().
This may in some cases take so long that the SLES 11 SP1 guest driver
reports I/O errors and filesystems get corrupted or remounted read-only.
Avoid this by setting BUSY_STAT, so that the guest is made aware we are
in the middle of an operation and no ATA commands are attempted to be
processed concurrently.
Addresses BNC#637297.
