After an error condition, some ATAPI tape drives set DRQ=1 together with ERR=1
when asking the host to transfer the CDB of the next packet command (i.e.
request sense).
This patch, a revised version of Alan/Mark's previous patch, adds
ATA_HORKAGE_STUCK_ERR
to workaround the problem by ignoring the ERR bit and proceed sending the CDB.

Revised per Alan, Mark and Tejun's comments. Tested ok with the Seagate
STT8000A tape drive.
