Most drives rewind the tape when the device is reset. Reading and writing are not allowed until something is done to make the tape position match the user's expectation (e.g., rewind the tape). Add MTIOCGET and MTLOAD to operations allowed after reset. MTIOCGET is modified to not touch the tape if pos_unknown is non-zero. The tape location is known after MTLOAD.

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 reStructuredText 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.
