ide: add struct ide_taskfile (take 2)

* Don't set write-only ide_task_t.hobRegister[6] and ide_task_t.hobRegister[7]
  in idedisk_set_max_address_ext().

* Add struct ide_taskfile and use it in ide_task_t instead of tfRegister[]
  and hobRegister[].

* Remove no longer needed IDE_CONTROL_OFFSET_HOB define.

* Add #ifndef/#endif __KERNEL__ around definitions of {task,hob}_struct_t.

While at it:

* Use ATA_LBA define for LBA bit (0x40) as suggested by Tejun Heo.

v2:
* Add missing newlines. (Noticed by Sergei)

* Use ~ATA_LBA instead of 0xBF. (Noticed by Sergei)

* Use unnamed unions for error/feature and status/command.
  (Suggested by Sergei).

There should be no functionality changes caused by this patch.
