3.5.7u1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys at microsoft.com>

commit 5c1b10ab7f93d24f29b5630286e323d1c5802d5c upstream.

Properly account for I/O in transit before returning from the RESET call.
In the absense of this patch, we could have a situation where the host may
respond to a command that was issued prior to the issuance of the RESET
command at some arbitrary time after responding to the RESET command.
Currently, the host does not do anything with the RESET command.
