[S390] tape: Fix race condition in tape block device driver
Due to incorrect function call sequence it can happen that a tape block request is finished before the request is taken from the block request queue. The following sequence leads to that condition: * tapeblock_start_request() -> start CCW program * Request finishes -> IO interrupt * tapeblock_end_request() * end_that_request_last() If blkdev_dequeue_request() has not been called before end_that_request_last(), a kernel bug is triggered in end_that_request_last() because the request is still queued. To solve that problem blkdev_dequeue_request() has to be called before starting the CCW program.
