KVM: s390: add clear I/O irq operation for FLIC

Introduce a FLIC operation for clearing I/O interrupts for a subchannel.

Rationale: According to the platform specification, pending I/O
interruption requests have to be revoked in certain situations. For
instance, according to the Principles of Operation (page 17-27), a
subchannel put into the installed parameters initialized state is in the
same state as after an I/O system reset (just parameters possibly changed).
This implies that any I/O interrupts for that subchannel are no longer
pending (as I/O system resets clear I/O interrupts). Therefore, we need an
interface to clear pending I/O interrupts.

Simply deletes all elements from the list of currently pending floating
interrupts. No interrupts are injected into the guest.
KVM_DEV_FLIC_CLEAR_IO_IRQ
Deletes one (if any) I/O interrupt for a subchannel identified by the
subsystem identification word passed via the buffer specified by
attr->addr (address) and attr->attr (length).
KVM_DEV_FLIC_APF_ENABLE
Enables async page faults for the guest. So in case of a major page fault
the host is allowed to handle this async and continues the guest.
