vfio-ccw: rework ssch state handling
The flow for processing ssch requests can be improved by splitting the BUSY state: - CP_PROCESSING: We reject any user space requests while we are in the process of translating a channel program and submitting it to the hardware. Use -EAGAIN to signal user space that it should retry the request. - CP_PENDING: We have successfully submitted a request with ssch and are now expecting an interrupt. As we can't handle more than one channel program being processed, reject any further requests with -EBUSY. A final interrupt will move us out of this state. By making this a separate state, we make it possible to issue a halt or a clear while we're still waiting for the final interrupt for the ssch (in a follow-on patch). It also makes a lot of sense not to preemptively filter out writes to the io_region if we're in an incorrect state: the state machine will handle this correctly.
