After an error condition, some ATAPI tape drives set DRQ=1 together with ERR=1

request sense).
This patch workarounds the problem by ignoring the ERR bit and proceed REQUEST
SENSE.

NAK. There's no guarantee that the next command after an error
will always be REQUEST_SENSE. Or is there?
I think we should just ignore the ERR bit when DRQ is set for PACKET command.
Period. Possibly only for tape drives (since they all seem to do this),
and maybe not for non-tape drives.
Cheers
