Subject: s390/chsc: Add exception handler for CHSC instruction
From: Peter Oberparleiter <oberpar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 77759137248f34864a8f7a58bbcebfcf1047504a upstream.
Prevent kernel crashes due to unhandled exceptions raised by the CHSC
instruction which may for example be triggered by invalid ioctl data.
