Let the driver core handle device attribute creation and removal. This
will simplify the code and eliminates races between attribute
availability and userspace notification via uevents.

A common way to prepare a z/VM mini disk is to format the real device
with a z/VM tool like CPFMTXA and then define a mini disk that excludes
the first cylinder, i.e. the cylinder 0 of the virtual disk is located
at cylinder 1 of the real device.

The DASD device driver will recognize such a mini disk as formatted, as
the uniform record layout on the disk matches that of an LDL formatted
device. However, the cylinder value in the 'count' field of the ECKD
records matches the geometry of the real device, and not that of the
mini disk, so I/O requests will fail with 'record not found' errors.

To make the mini disk usable, it needs to be formatted with a tool like
dasdfmt. To enable tools like distribution installation tools to
recognize this situation, the DASD device driver should report such a
mini disk as 'not formatted'.
To this end we need to extend the device recognition code to check not
just for proper record sizes, but also for proper cylinder/head/record
values.

Read unit address is done for all devices during online processing to read
out LCU features. This is also done after disconnect/connect a LCU.
Some older storage hardware does not provide the capability to read unit
address configuration.
This leads to a loop trying to read unit address configuration every 30
seconds. The device is still operational but logs are flooded with error
messages.

Fix the loop by recognizing a command reject saying that the suborder
for ruac is not supported.
