mainlining shenanigans

Interrupt handler bad_flp_intr() may cause a UAF on the recently freed request just to increment the error count. There's no point keeping that one in the request anyway, and since the interrupt handler uses a static pointer to the error which cannot be kept in sync with the pending request, better make it use a static error counter that's reset for each new request. This reset now happens when entering redo_fd_request() for a new request via set_next_request(). One initial concern about a single error counter was that errors on one floppy drive could be reported on another one, but this problem is not real given that the driver uses a single drive at a time, as that PC-compatible controllers also have this limitation by using shared signals. As such the error count is always for the "current" drive.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
