s390/cio: Relax subchannel scan loop
The CIO layer scans for newly available I/O devices by performing a scan of available subchannels using the Store Subchannel (STSCH) instruction. This processing can take a significant amount of time during which no other task can run on the same CPU (unless CONFIG_PREEMPT has been enabled). As a result, scheduling latencies for other tasks are increased noticeably, especially on a single-CPU system. Fix this problem by explicitly allowing other tasks to be scheduled each time a subchannel has been processed.
