[PATCH] libata handle the case when device returns/needs extra data

PATCH 2/2:  handle the case when device returns/needs extra data

Description:
   Sometimes the device returns/needs extra data than expected.

Changes:
   Modify __atapi_pio_bytes() to handle the case where device returns/needs extra data.
     - for read case, discard trailing data from the device
     - for write case, padding zero data to the device
