The routine vfio_ccw_sch_event() is tasked with handling subchannel events,
specifically machine checks, on behalf of vfio-ccw. It correctly calls
cio_update_schib(), and if that fails (meaning the subchannel is gone)
it makes an FSM event call to mark the subchannel Not Operational.

If that worked, however, then it decides that if the FSM state was already
Not Operational (implying the subchannel just came back), then it should
simply change the FSM to partially- or fully-open.

Remove this trickery, since a subchannel returning will require more
probing than simply "oh all is well again" to ensure it works correctly.

So, I agree that this code does not belong here and should be removed -- if the subchannel just came back, we can't assume it's even the same device. We'd better just leave it NOT_OPER for this weird window for now. So...

But I also wonder if more work could be done from vfio_ccw_sch_event based upon whats in the schib, like what io_subchannel_sch_event does (e.g. detecting if a reprobe of the device is necessary). We should probably take a closer look here for potential follow-ups.
