[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.
