To be able to analyse problems in regard to hypervisor overhead
add a tracepoing for diagnose calls. It reports the number of
the diagnose issued, e.g.
sshd-1385 [002] .... 42.701431: diagnose: nr=0x9c
<idle>-0 [001] ..s. 43.587528: diagnose: nr=0x9c

Introduce /sys/debug/kernel/diag_stat with a statistic how many diagnose
calls have been done by each CPU in the system.

Currently the diag10() function can only release one page. For exploiters
that have to call diag10 on a contiguous memory region this is suboptimal.
This patch replaces the diag10() function with diag10_range() that is
able to release multiple pages. In addition to that the new function now
allows to release memory with addresses higher than 2047 MiB. This was
due to a restriction of the diagnose implementation under z/VM prior to
release 5.2.
