    s390/sclp: Prevent release of buffer in I/O
    
    [ Upstream commit bf365071ea92b9579d5a272679b74052a5643e35 ]
    
    When a task waiting for completion of a Store Data operation is
    interrupted, an attempt is made to halt this operation. If this attempt
    fails due to a hardware or firmware problem, there is a chance that the
    SCLP facility might store data into buffers referenced by the original
    operation at a later time.
    
    Handle this situation by not releasing the referenced data buffers if
    the halt attempt fails. For current use cases, this might result in a
    leak of few pages of memory in case of a rare hardware/firmware
    malfunction.
