[PATCH] ide-disk.c: more write cache fixes

- many Maxtor disks incorrectly claim CACHE FLUSH EXT command support,
fix it by checking both CACHE FLUSH EXT command and LBA48 support
(thanks to Eric D. Mudama for help in fixing this)

- write_cache() was called with 'drive->id->cfs_enable_2 & 0x3000' as 'int arg'
argument which was always truncated to zero due to 'u8 drive->wcache = arg'
assignment so write cache was indeed enabled but drive->wcache was zero
(thanks to Rene Herman for help in debugging this)

- flush cache in idedisk_start_power_step() only if ATA-6 CACHE FLUSH (EXT)
bits are present in disk's identify data (prevents sending unknown commands)

- set drive->wcache in idedisk_setup() not idedisk_attach() (no need to check
id->command_set_2 - we check id->cfs_enable_2 instead in write_cache() call)

- use ide_cacheflush_p() in idedisk_setup()

- minor cleanups
