[20/64] esp: only set ESP_RSEQ at the start of the select sequence

When processing a command to select a target and send a CDB, the ESP device
maintains a sequence step register so that if an error occurs the host can
determine which part of the selection/CDB submission sequence failed.

The old Linux 2.6 driver is really pedantic here: it checks the sequence step
register even if a command succeeds and complains loudly on the console if the
sequence step register doesn't match the expected bus phase and interrupt flags.

This reason this mismatch occurs is because the ESP emulation currently doesn't
update the bus phase until the next TI (Transfer Information) command and so the
cleared sequence step register is considered invalid for the stale bus phase.

Normally this isn't an issue as the host only checks the sequence step register
if an error occurs but the old Linux 2.6 driver does this in several places
causing a large stream of "esp0: STEP_ASEL for tgt 0" messages to appear on the
console during the boot process.

Fix this by not clearing the sequence step register when reading the interrupt
register and clearing the DMA status, so the guest sees a valid sequence step
and bus phase combination at the end of the command phase. No other change is
required since the sequence step register is correctly updated throughout the
selection/CDB submission sequence once one of the select commands is issued.
