s390/zcrypt: Introduce QACT support for AP bus devices.
This patch introduces a new ap_qact() function which exploits the PQAP(QACT) subfunction. QACT is a new interface to Query the Ap Compatilibity Type based on a given AP qid, type, mode and version. Based on this new function the AP bus scan code is slightly reworked to use this new interface for querying the compatible type for each new AP queue device detected. So new and unknown devices can get automatically mapped to a compatible type and handled without the need for toleration patches for every new hardware. The currently highest known hardware is CEX6S. With this patch a possible successor can get queried for a combatible type known by the device driver without the need for an toleration patch.
