s390/cio: More efficient handling of CHPID availability events

Browse Source 
The CIO layer processes hardware events that indicate that a channel
path has become available by performing a scan of available subchannels
using the Store Subchannel (STSCH) instruction. Performing too many
STSCH instructions in a tight loop can cause high Hypervisor overhead
which can negatively impact the performance of the virtual machine as
a whole.

This patch reduces the number of STSCH instructions performed while
processing a resource accessibility event and while varying a CHPID
online.

In both cases, Linux first performs a STSCH instruction on each unused
subchannel to see if the subchannel has become available. If the STSCH
instruction indicates that the subchannel is available, a full
evaluation of this subchannel is scheduled. Since the full evaluation
includes performing a STSCH instruction, the initial STSCH is
unnecessary and can be removed.
