Sebastian Ott b4563e891a [S390] cio: wait for channel report
To fetch a pending channel report word (crw) we use a kernel
thread which triggers stcrw and sleeps on a semaphore. The s390
machine check handler uses crw_handle_channel_report to handle
one crw if needed.

This patch replaces the semaphore with a waitqueue (to block the
kernel thread) and an atomic_t (to count the number of pending
requests).

By this we achieve the ability to force this thread to check for
a pending crw (independent on when it is triggered by the machine
check handler) and wait for this action to finish.

Heiko Carstens 98c1c68252 [S390] cio/crw: add/fix locking
The crw_unregister_handler uses xchg + synchronize_sched when
unregistering a crw_handler.
This doesn't protect crw_collect_info to potentially jump to NULL since
it has unlocked code like this:

if (crw_handlers[i])
        crw_handlers[i](NULL, NULL, 1);

So add a mutex which protects the crw handler array for changes.

Heiko Carstens f5daba1d41 [S390] split/move machine check handler code
Split machine check handler code and move it to cio and kernel code
where it belongs to. No functional change.
