s390/qeth: allow cmd callbacks to return errnos
Error propagation from cmd callbacks currently works in a way where qeth_send_control_data_cb() picks the raw HW code from the response, and the cmd's originator later translates this into an errno. The callback itself only returns 0 ("done") or 1 ("expect more data"). This is 1. limiting, as the only means for the callback to report an internal error is to invent pseudo HW codes (such as IPA_RC_ENOMEM), that the originator then needs to understand. For non-IPA callbacks, we even provide a separate field in the IO buffer metadata (iob->rc) so the callback can pass back a return value. 2. fragile, as the originator must take care to not translate any errno that is returned by qeth's own IO code paths (eg -ENOMEM). Also, any originator that forgets to translate the HW codes potentially passes garbage back to its caller. For instance, see commit 2aa4867 ("s390/qeth: translate SETVLAN/DELVLAN errors"). Introduce a new model where all HW error translation is done within the callback, and the callback returns > 0, if it expects more data (as before) == 0, on success < 0, with an errno Start off with converting all callbacks to the new model that either a) pass back pseudo HW codes, or b) have a dependency on a specific HW error code. Also convert c) the one callback that uses iob->rc, and d) qeth_setadpparms_change_macaddr_cb() so that it can pass back an error back to qeth_l2_request_initial_mac() even when the cmd itself was successful. The old model remains supported: if the callback returns 0, we still propagate the response's HW error code back to the originator.
