[S390] cio: introduce cio_commit_config

To change the configuration of a subchannel we alter the modifiable
bits of the subchannel's schib field and issue a modify subchannel.
There can be the case that not all changes were applied -or worse-
quietly overwritten by the hardware. With the next store subchannel
we obtain the current state of the hardware but lose our target
configuration.

With this patch we introduce a subchannel_config structure which
contains the target subchannel configuration. Additionally the msch
wrapper cio_modify is replaced with cio_commit_config which
copies the desired changes to a temporary schib. msch is then
called with the temporary schib. This schib is only written back
to the subchannel if all changes were applied.
