s390/zcrypt: make sysfs reset attribute trigger queue reset



Until now there is no way to reset a AP queue or card. Driving a card
or queue offline and online again does only toggle the 'software'
online state. The only way to trigger a (hardware) reset is by running
hot-unplug/hot-plug for example on the HMC.

This patch makes the queue reset attribute in sysfs writable.
Writing into this attribute triggers a reset on the AP queue's state
machine. So the AP queue is flushed and state machine runs through the
initial states which cause a reset (PQAP(RAPQ)) and a re-registration
to interrupts (PQAP(AQIC)) if available.

The reset sysfs attribute is writable by root only. So only an
administrator is allowed to initiate a reset of AP queues. Please note
that the queue's counter values are left untouched by the reset.
