[S390] dasd: improve error recovery for internal I/O
Most of the error conditions reported by a FICON storage server
indicate situations which can be recovered. Sometimes the host just
needs to retry an I/O request, but sometimes the recovery
is more complex and requires the device driver to wait, choose
a different path, etc.
The DASD device driver has a fully featured error recovery
for normal block layer I/O, but not for internal I/O request which
are for example used during the device bring up.
This can lead to situations where the IPL of a system fails because
DASD devices are not properly recognized.
This patch will extend the internal I/O handling to use the existing
error recovery procedures.
