Merge irq.c and s390_ext.c into irq.c. That way all external interrupt
related functions are together.

<content type='text'>
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.

The termination of running CQR caused by reserve/release operations
may lead to an IO error if reserve/release is done in a tight loop.
Prevent this by increasing the retry counter after termination.

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

<title>[S390] dasd: fix race between open and offline</title>

The dasd_open function uses the private_data pointer of the gendisk to
find the dasd_block structure that matches the gendisk. When a DASD
device is set offline, we set the private_data pointer of the gendisk
to NULL and later remove the dasd_block structure, but there is still
a small race window, in which dasd_open could first read a pointer
from the private_data field and then try to use it, after the structure
has already been freed.
To close this race window, we will store a pointer to the dasd_devmap
structure of the base device in the private_data field. The devmap
entries are not deleted, and we already have proper locking and
reference counting in place, so that we can safely get from a devmap
pointer to the dasd_device and dasd_block structures of the device.
