This part is unnecessary, the status is already reset.

This should fix the bug, however in an one-off way. I was planning to
fix it by setting BSY for all commands and having an explicit command
completion everywhere. This part is a mess currently in IDE.
The other part why I haven't sent a fix yet is that I don't have a test
case for it. I guess I need to extend blkdebug first before this can be
reliably tested by qtest.
