The standby path queries the power state before checking whether the
device accepts ATA power-management commands. This sends CHECK POWER MODE
to ATAPI devices, including the QEMU DVD-ROM, which rejects it.
Run the existing taskfile initialization and device-class check first,
as the active-power path already does.

OpenAI Codex investigated the QEMU DVD power-command failures and wrote
this fix and its local validation.
Earlier validation covered 1,536 source-body dispatch cases, a Linux 7.3
build and two ordinary corrected QEMU DVD cycles. No exhaustive ATA/ATAPI
hardware matrix was run. This base was checked for applicability; no new
build or runtime test was run.
