s390/dasd: Eliminate race condition in dasd_generic_set_offline()
Before we set a device offline, the open_count for the block device is checked and certain flags are checked and set as well. However, this is all done without holding any lock. Potentially, if the open_count was checked but the DASD_FLAG_OFFLINE wasn't set yet, a different process might want to increase the open_count depending on whether DASD_FLAG_OFFLINE is set or not in the meanwhile. This is quite racy and can lead to the loss of the device for that process and subsequently lead to a panic. Fix this by checking the open_count and setting the offline flags while holding the ccwdev lock.
