[PATCH] s390: cmm guest sender id

An arbitrary guest must not be allowed to trigger cmm actions.  Only one
specific guest namely the one that serves as the resource monitor may send cmm
messages.  Add a parameter that allows to specify the guest that may send
messages.  z/VMs resource manager has the name 'VMRMSVM' which is the default.
