My point is that the success of a seek has nothing to do with the DSKCHG
signal. Even if you move the code around, DSKCHG may start to coincide
with the condition you really want to check, but it's logically still
not what should be checked. What's wrong with !bdrv_is_inserted() in the
if condition?

If something is wrong with the media_changed handling, then it's a
separate bug that should be dealt with in a separate patch.
