[PATCH 08/13] ide: Potential null pointer dereference in ide_devset_execute()

The function blk_get_request() can return NULL in some cases. There are
checks on it if function is called with argumetns one of which is
GFP_ATOMIC/GFP_NOIO/etc. If system couldn't find request
blk_get_request() return NULL.

But if there is function call with argument __GFP_WAIT
the system will wait until get request or the queue becomes
dead. If something kills the queue, blk_get_request()
return NULL and next operations will lead to errors.
