ide-disk: fix flush requests (take 2) 

commit 813a0eb233

    ide: switch idedisk_prepare_flush() to use REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE requests

...

broke flush requests.

Allocating IDE command structure on the stack for flush requests is not
a very brilliant idea:

- idedisk_prepare_flush() only prepares the request and it doesn't wait
  for it to be completed

- there are can be multiple flush requests queued in the queue

Fix the problem (per hints from James Bottomley) by:
- dynamically allocating ide_task_t instance using kmalloc(..., GFP_ATOMIC)
- adding new taskfile flag (IDE_TFLAG_DYN)
- calling kfree() in ide_end_drive_command() if IDE_TFLAG_DYN is set
  (while at it rename 'args' to 'task' and fix whitespace damage)

[ This will be fixed properly before 2.6.25 but this bug is rather
  critical and the proper solution requires some more work + testing. ]

Thanks to Sebastian Siewior and Christoph Hellwig for reporting the
problem and testing patches (extra thanks to Sebastian for bisecting
it to the guilty commmit).
