[S390] cio: call ccw driver notify function with lock held
Calling a ccw driver's notify function without the ccw device lock held opens up a race window between discovery and handling of a change in the device operational state. As a result, the device driver may encounter unexpected device malfunction, leading to out-of-retry situations or similar. Remove race by extending the ccw device lock from state change discovery to the calling of the notify function.
