s390/zcrypt: improve special ap message cmd handling
There exist very few ap messages which need to have the 'special' flag enabled. This flag tells the firmware layer to do some pre- and maybe postprocessing. However, it may happen that this special flag is enabled but the firmware is unable to deal with this kind of message and thus returns with reply code 0x41. For example older firmware may not know the newest messages triggered by the zcrypt device driver and thus react with reject and the named reply code. Unfortunately this reply code is not known to the zcrypt error routines and thus default behavior is to switch the ap queue offline. This patch now makes the ap error routine aware of the reply code and so userspace is informed about the bad processing result but the queue is not switched to offline state any more.
