[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.
