Alexandra Winter ee909d0b1d s390/qeth: Fix deadlock in remove_discipline
Problem: qeth_close_dev_handler is a worker that tries to acquire
card->discipline_mutex via drv->set_offline() in ccwgroup_set_offline().
Since commit b41b554c1e
("s390/qeth: fix locking for discipline setup / removal")
qeth_remove_discipline() is called under card->discipline_mutex and
cancels the work and waits for it to finish.

STOPLAN reception with reason code IPA_RC_VEPA_TO_VEB_TRANSITION is the
only situation that schedules close_dev_work. In that situation scheduling
qeth recovery will also result in an offline interface, when resetting the
isolation mode fails, if the external switch is still set to VEB.
And since commit 0b9902c1fc ("s390/qeth: fix deadlock during recovery")
qeth recovery does not aquire card->discipline_mutex anymore.

So we accept the longer pathlength of qeth_schedule_recovery in this
error situation and re-use the existing function.

As a side-benefit this changes the hwtrap to behave like during recovery
instead of like during a user-triggered set_offline.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
