s390/irq: remove split irq fields from /proc/stat

Now that irq sum accounting for /proc/stat's "intr" line works again we
have the oddity that the sum field (first field) contains only the sum
of the second (external irqs) and third field (I/O interrupts).
The reason for that is that these two fields are already sums of all other
fields. So if we would sum up everything we would count every interrupt
twice.
This is broken since the split interrupt accounting was merged two years
ago: 052ff461c8427629aee887ccc27478fc7373237c "[S390] irq: have detailed
statistics for interrupt types".
To fix this remove the split interrupt fields from /proc/stat's "intr"
line again and only have them in /proc/interrupts.

This restores the old behaviour, seems to be the only sane fix and mimics
a behaviour from other architectures where /proc/interrupts also contains
more than /proc/stat's "intr" line does.

s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

[S390] irq: external interrupt code passing

The external interrupt handlers have a parameter called ext_int_code.
Besides the name this paramter does not only contain the ext_int_code
but in addition also the "cpu address" (POP) which caused the external
interrupt.
To make the code a bit more obvious pass a struct instead so the called
function can easily distinguish between external interrupt code and
cpu address. The cpu address field however is named "subcode" since
some external interrupt sources do not pass a cpu address but a
different parameter (or none at all).

[S390] irq: fix service signal external interrupt handling

Interrupt sources like pfault, sclp, dasd_diag and virtio all use the
service signal external interrupt subclass mask in control register 0
to enable and disable the corresponding interrupt.
Because no reference counting is implemented each subsystem thinks it
is the only user of subclass and sets and clears the bit like it wants.
This leads to case that unloading the dasd diag module under z/VM
causes both sclp and pfault interrupts to be masked. The result will
be locked up system sooner or later.
Fix this by introducing a new way to set (register) and clear
(unregister) the service signal subclass mask bit in cr0.
Also convert all drivers.

pfault, dasd diag and virtio all use the same external interrupt number.
The respective interrupt handlers decide by the subcode if they are

Counting is currently done before looking at the subcode which means
each handler counts an interrupt even if it is not handling it.
Fix this by moving the kstat code after the code which looks at the
subcode.

[S390] dasd: support DIAG access for read-only devices

When a DASD device is used with the DIAG discipline, the DIAG
initialization will indicate success or error with a respective
return code. So far we have interpreted a return code of 4 as error,
but it actually means that the initialization was successful, but
the device is read-only. To allow read-only devices to be used with
DIAG we need to accept a return code of 4 as success.

Re-initialization of the DIAG access is also part of the DIAG error
recovery. If we find that the access mode of a device has been
changed from writable to read-only while the device was in use,
we print an error message.

[SCSI] block: separate failfast into multiple bits.

Multipath is best at handling transport errors. If it gets a device
error then there is not much the multipath layer can do. It will just
access the same device but from a different path.

This patch breaks up failfast into device, transport and driver errors.
The multipath layers (md and dm mutlipath) only ask the lower levels to
fast fail transport errors. The user of failfast, read ahead, will ask
to fast fail on all errors.

Note that blk_noretry_request will return true if any failfast bit
is set. This allows drivers that do not support the multipath failfast
bits to continue to fail on any failfast error like before. Drivers
like scsi that are able to fail fast specific errors can check
for the specific fail fast type. In the next patch I will convert
scsi.

[S390] dasd: add hyper PAV support to DASD device driver, part 1

Parallel access volumes (PAV) is a storage server feature, that allows
to start multiple channel programs on the same DASD in parallel. It
defines alias devices which can be used as alternative paths to the
same disk. With the old base PAV support we only needed rudimentary
functionality in the DASD device driver. As the mapping between base
and alias devices was static, we just had to export an identifier
(uid) and could leave the combining of devices to external layers
like a device mapper multipath.
Now hyper PAV removes the requirement to dedicate alias devices to
specific base devices. Instead each alias devices can be combined with
multiple base device on a per request basis. This requires full
support by the DASD device driver as now each channel program itself
has to identify the target base device.
The changes to the dasd device driver and the ECKD discipline are:
- Separate subchannel device representation (dasd_device) from block
device representation (dasd_block). Only base devices are block
devices.
- Gather information about base and alias devices and possible
combinations.
- For each request decide which dasd_device should be used (base or
alias) and build specific channel program.
- Support summary unit checks, which allow the storage server to
upgrade / downgrade between base and hyper PAV at runtime (support
is mandatory).
