s390/extmem: Add workaround for DCSS unload diag



When calling the diag for DCSS unload on a non-IPL CPU, the sclp maximum
memory detection on the next IPL would falsely return the end of the
previously loaded DCSS.

This is because of an issue in z/VM, so work around it by always calling
the diag for DCSS unload on IPL CPU 0. That CPU cannot be set offline,
so the dcss_diag() call can directly be scheduled to CPU 0.

The wrong maximum memory value returned by sclp would only affect KASAN
kernels. When a DCSS within the falsely reported extra memory range is
loaded and accessed again, it would result in a kernel crash:

Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space
Failing address: 001c0000a3ffe000 TEID: 001c0000a3ffe803
Fault in home space mode while using kernel ASCE.
