s390/qeth: Fix potential loss of L3-IP@ in case of network issues
commit 2fe8a236 upstream. Symptom: In case of a bad cable connection (e.g. dirty optics) a fast sequence of network DOWN-UP-DOWN-UP could happen. UP triggers recovery of the qeth interface. In case of a second DOWN while recovery is still ongoing, it can happen that the IP@ of a Layer3 qeth interface is lost and will not be recovered by the second UP. Problem: When registration of IP addresses with Layer 3 qeth devices fails, (e.g. because of bad address format) the respective IP address is deleted from its hash-table in the driver. If registration fails because of a ENETDOWN condition, the address should stay in the hashtable, so a subsequent recovery can restore it. 3caa4af8 ("qeth: keep ip-address after LAN_OFFLINE failure") fixes this for registration failures during normal operation, but not during recovery. Solution: Keep L3-IP address in case of ENETDOWN in qeth_l3_recover_ip(). For consistency with qeth_l3_add_ip() we also keep it in case of EADDRINUSE, i.e. for some reason the card already/still has this address registered.
