Finally fixes a possible scheduling while in atomic context bug. The driver
used to wait on a waitqueue if no empty buffer was available. This could
lead to a deadlock if the driver was called from non-schedulable context.
So fix this. The write operation may fail now. It returns the number of
characters accepted. put_char will never fail, since it writes characters
to an intermediate buffer which gets flushed as soon as it is full.
That means the driver now can busy wait if something is in the intermediate
buffer and a write_string operation follows. Seems to be an acceptable
compromise, since that shouldn't happen too often.

After all we came to the conclusion that this interface doesn't make any
sense. Besides that the ioctl number used was never registered, the header
file isn't exported, and we doubt there is even a single user.
So remove this interface, since it eases maintenance.

Most likely it is broken anyway because of the changes in memory
detection. Since we can't test it and there are probably better ways
that using a P390 card, remove support for it.

Move memory detection code to own file and also simplify it.
Also add an interface which can be called at any time to get the
current memory layout. This interface is needed by our kernel
internal system dumper.

In some cases where the channel subsystem decides to drop a subchannel
device device_unregister may be called twice, which results in an oops.
The patch prevents this by only unregistering registered devices.
