[PATCH] ide: add sanity checking to ide taskfile ioctl

[PATCH] ide: add sanity checking to ide taskfile ioctl

[Alan Cox]

Without this the user can feed in bogus values and get very bogus
results. Security impact is minimal as this ioctl isn't available to
unpriviledged processes anyway.

Reported to the l/k list and found with an auditing tool.
