I modified it slightly while merging since AFAICS we still need to check
'tape->nr_stages >= tape_max_stages' for idetape_add_chrdev_write_request().

Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ide-tape: remove tape->cache_stage

Prior to allocating a new pipeline stage, the code checked for the existence of
a cached pipeline stage to use. Do away with and stick to normal pipeline
stages only.

[bart: keep idetape_kmalloc_stage() for now]
