[S390] cio: call ccw driver notify function with lock held
Calling a ccw driver's notify function without the ccw device lock
held opens up a race window between discovery and handling of a change
in the device operational state. As a result, the device driver may
encounter unexpected device malfunction, leading to out-of-retry
situations or similar.
Remove race by extending the ccw device lock from state change
discovery to the calling of the notify function.
