KVM: s390: introduce adapter interrupt inject function
Inject adapter interrupts on a specified adapter which allows to retrieve the adapter flags, e.g. if the adapter is subject to AIS facility or not. And add documentation for this interface. For adapters subject to AIS, handle the airq injection suppression for a given ISC according to the interruption mode: - before injection, if NO-Interruptions Mode, just return 0 and suppress, otherwise, allow the injection. - after injection, if SINGLE-Interruption Mode, change it to NO-Interruptions Mode to suppress the following interrupts. Besides, add tracepoint for suppressed airq and AIS mode transitions.
