s390/dasd: fix data corruption for ESE devices

commit 5b53a405 upstream.

For ESE devices we get an error when accessing an unformatted track.
The handling of this error will return zero data for read requests and
format the track on demand before writing to it. To do this the code needs
to distinguish between read and write requests. This is done with data from
the blocklayer request. A pointer to the blocklayer request is stored in
the CQR.

If there is an error on the device an ERP request is built to do error
recovery. While the ERP request is mostly a copy of the original CQR the
pointer to the blocklayer request is not copied to not accidentally pass
it back to the blocklayer without cleanup.

This leads to the error that during ESE handling after an ERP request was
built it is not possible to determine the IO direction. This leads to the
formatting of a track for read requests which might in turn lead to data
corruption.

Fixes: 5e2b17e7
