The qdio device indicator is freed before the device is notified that
the indicator is reset. This sequence contains a race when the freed
indicator is used by a new device while the reset of the indicator is
still pending. Do the reset operation before freeing the indicator to
avoid that potential race.

If device recognition is interrupted by a subchannel event
indicating that the device is gone, ccw_device_init_count
is not correctly decreased.

Fix this by reporting the corresponding event to the device
recognition callback via the state machine.

Function ccw_device_cancel_halt_clear may cause an unexpected kernel
panic if a clear function is currently active at the subchannel for
which it is called. In that case, the iretry counter used to determine
the number of retries is never initialized, leading to an immediate
failure of the function which results in a kernel panic.

Fix this by initializing the iretry counter when the function is
first called. Also replace the kernel panic with a return code: a
single malfunctioning I/O device should not automatically cause a
system-wide kernel panic.

Update the channel path descriptors after hibernation.
This is done unlocked, since we are the only active
task at this time.

Note: chsc_determine_base_channel_path_desc is changed
to use spin_lock_irqsave, since it's called with
interrupts disabled in this case.

chsc_determine_channel_path_desc is called by a wrapper
who allocates a response struct. The response data
is then memcpy'ed to this response struct by
chsc_determine_channel_path_desc.

Change chsc_determine_base_channel_path_desc to use the
global chsc_page and deliver it to the function doing
the actual chsc call. The channel path desriptor is
then directly read from the response data.

As a result we get rid of the additional allocation
for the response struct.

Most wrappers around the channel subsystem call have their own logic
to allocate memory (with proper alignment) or use preallocated or
static memory. This patch converts most users of the channel
subsystem call to use the same preallocated page (proteced by a
spinlock).

Note: The sei_page which is used in our crw handler to call
"store event information" has to coexist, since
a) in crw context, while accessing the sei_page, sleeping is allowed
   (which will conflict with the spinlock protection of the chsc_page)
b) in crw context, while accessing the sei_page, channel subsystem
   calls are allowed (which itself would require the page).
