[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).

+ * General concept of alias management:
+ * - PAV and DASD alias management is specific to the eckd discipline.
+ * - A device is connected to an lcu as long as the device exists.
+ *   dasd_alias_make_device_known_to_lcu will be called wenn the
+ *   device is checked by the eckd discipline and
+ *   dasd_alias_disconnect_device_from_lcu will be called
+ *   before the device is deleted.
+ * - The dasd_alias_add_device / dasd_alias_remove_device
+ *   functions mark the point when a device is 'ready for service'.
+ * - A summary unit check is a rare occasion, but it is mandatory to
+ *   support it. It requires some complex recovery actions before the
+ *   devices can be used again (see dasd_alias_handle_summary_unit_check).
+ * - dasd_alias_get_start_dev will find an alias device that can be used
+ *   instead of the base device and does some (very simple) load balancing.
+ *   This is the function that gets called for each I/O, so when improving
+ *   something, this function should get faster or better, the rest has just
+ *   to be correct.
