Subject: s390/cio: fix out-of-bounds access on cio_ignore free

From: Peter Oberparleiter <oberpar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1b6074112742f65ece71b0f299ca5a6a887d2db6 upstream.

The channel-subsystem-driver scans for newly available devices whenever
device-IDs are removed from the cio_ignore list using a command such as:

  echo free >/proc/cio_ignore

Since an I/O device scan might interfer with running I/Os, commit
172da89ed0ea ("s390/cio: avoid excessive path-verification requests")
introduced an optimization to exclude online devices from the scan.

The newly added check for online devices incorrectly assumes that
an I/O-subchannel's drvdata points to a struct io_subchannel_private.
For devices that are bound to a non-default I/O subchannel driver, such
as the vfio_ccw driver, this results in an out-of-bounds read access
during each scan.

Fix this by changing the scan logic to rely on a driver-independent
online indication. For this we can use struct subchannel->config.ena,
which is the driver's requested subchannel-enabled state. Since I/Os
can only be started on enabled subchannels, this matches the intent
of the original optimization of not scanning devices where I/O might
be running.
