s390/dasd: Fix path verification interrupted by concurrent dasd_sleep_on_immediatly

When all channel paths to a DASD device are lost and subsequently
recovered, the path event handler starts one IO per path via
dasd_sleep_on_immediatly() to execute read configuration data (RCD) with
high priority.

dasd_sleep_on_immediatly() works by terminating the currently running
request before inserting the new request.
If a concurrent caller, such as the attention handler
dasd_eckd_check_attention_work() or the summary unit
check handler summary_unit_check_handling_work(), also calls
dasd_sleep_on_immediatly() while a path verification RCD is in progress,
the RCD gets terminated.

The problem is that a terminated request transitions from CLEARED to
TERMINATED without going through the normal retry path in
__dasd_device_process_ccw_queue.

The RCD therefore returns -EIO, and the affected paths remain
non-operational after recovery. RCD CQRs used for path verification
already carry the DASD_CQR_VERIFY_PATH flag.

Extend _dasd_term_running_cqr() to check this flag: instead of terminating
such a request, return -EAGAIN. In dasd_sleep_on_immediatly(), loop on
-EAGAIN with a short sleep, waiting for the path verification request to
complete before inserting the new request.

This is consistent with the already indefinite wait_event() that
dasd_sleep_on_immediatly() uses for its own request, and all other callers
(attention handler, summary unit check handler, reserve/release/steal-lock)
benefit automatically without requiring changes.
