[PATCH] Correctly release and allocate a new request upon retries

[Alan D. Brunelle]

 Commands needing to be retried require a complete re-initialization.

The test-unit-ready portion of this patch was causing boots to fail on
my test machine (as in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/5/161). With this
patch in place, the system is booting reliably.

Mike Anderson found the same problem in the hp_hw_start_stop code,
and I applied the same solution in cdrom_read_cdda_bpc.
