Subject: s390/chsc: fix SEI usage on old FW levels
From: Sebastian Ott <sebott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 06cd7a874ec6e09d151aeb1fa8600e14f1ff89f6 upstream.
Using a notification type mask for the store event information chsc
is unsupported on some firmware levels. Retry SEI with that mask set
to zero (which is the old way of requesting only channel subsystem
related events).
