s390/qeth: fix dangling IO buffers after halt/clear



[ Upstream commit f9e50b02 ]

The cio layer's intparm logic does not align itself well with how qeth
manages cmd IOs. When an active IO gets terminated via halt/clear, the
corresponding IRQ's intparm does not reflect the cmd buffer but rather
the intparm that was passed to ccw_device_halt() / ccw_device_clear().
This behaviour was recently clarified in
commit b91d9e67 ("s390/cio: fix intparm documentation").

As a result, qeth_irq() currently doesn't cancel a cmd that was
terminated via halt/clear. This primarily causes us to leak
card->read_cmd after the qeth device is removed, since our IO path still
holds a refcount for this cmd.

For qeth this means that we need to keep track of which IO is pending on
a device ('active_cmd'), and use this as the intparm when calling
halt/clear. Otherwise qeth_irq() can't match the subsequent IRQ to its
cmd buffer.
Since we now keep track of the _expected_ intparm, we can also detect
any mismatch; this would constitute a bug somewhere in the lower layers.
In this case cancel the active cmd - we effectively "lost" the IRQ and
should not expect any further notification for this IO.
