Subject[patch 6/13] s390: dasd ioctl never returns.
From: Horst Hummel <horst.hummel@de.ibm.com>

[patch 6/13] s390: dasd ioctl never returns.

The dasd state machine is not designed to enable an unformatted device,
since 'unformatted' is a final state. The BIODASDENABLE ioctl calls
dasd_enable_device() which never returns if the device is in this
special state. Return -EPERM in dasd_increase_state for unformatted
devices to make dasd_enable_device terminate.
Note: To get such an unformatted device online it has to be re-analyzed.
This means that the device needs to be disabled prior to re-enablement.
