s390/vfio-ap: bypass unnecessary processing of AP resources
It is not necessary to go through the process of validation, linking of queues to mdev and vice versa and filtering the APQNs assigned to the matrix mdev to build an AP configuration for a guest if an adapter or domain being assigned is already assigned to the matrix mdev. Likewise, it is not necessary to proceed through the process the unassignment of an adapter, domain or control domain if it is not assigned to the matrix mdev. Since it is not necessary to process assignment of a resource already assigned or process unassignment of a resource that is been assigned, this patch will bypass all assignment/unassignment operations for an adapter, domain or control domain under these circumstances. Not only is assignment of a duplicate adapter or domain unnecessary, it will also cause a hang situation when removing the matrix mdev to which it is assigned. The reason is because the same vfio_ap_queue objects with an APQN containing the APID of the adapter or APQI of the domain being assigned will get added multiple times to the hashtable that holds them. This results in the pprev and next pointers of the hlist_node (mdev_qnode field in the vfio_ap_queue object) pointing to the queue object itself resulting in an interminable loop when the mdev is removed and the queue table is iterated to reset the queues.
