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.
