block/swim3: Locking fixes
The old PowerMac swim3 driver has some "interesting" locking issues, using a private lock and failing to lock the queue before completing requests, which triggered WARN_ONs among others. This rips out the private lock, makes everything operate under the block queue lock, and generally makes things simpler. We used to also share a queue between the two possible instances which was problematic since we might pick the wrong controller in some cases, so make the queue and the current request per-instance and use queuedata to point to our private data which is a lot cleaner. We still share the queue lock but then, it's nearly impossible to actually use 2 swim3's simultaneously: one would need to have a Wallstreet PowerBook, the only machine afaik with two of these on the motherboard, and populate both hotswap bays with a floppy drive (the machine ships only with one), so nobody cares... While at it, add a little fix to clear up stale interrupts when loading the driver or plugging a floppy drive in a bay.
