s390/dasd: fix list corruption of pavgroup group list
dasd_alias_add_device() moves devices to the active_devices list in case of a scheduled LCU update regardless if they have previously been in a pavgroup or not. Example: device A and B are in the same pavgroup. Device A has already been in a pavgroup and the private->pavgroup pointer is set and points to a valid pavgroup. While going through dasd_add_device it is moved from the pavgroup to the active_devices list. In parallel device B might be removed from the same pavgroup in remove_device_from_lcu() which in turn checks if the group is empty and deletes it accordingly because device A has already been removed from there. When now device A enters remove_device_from_lcu() it is tried to remove it from the pavgroup again because the pavgroup pointer is still set and again the empty group will be cleaned up which leads to a list corruption. Fix by setting private->pavgroup to NULL in dasd_add_device. If the device has been the last device on the pavgroup an empty pavgroup remains but this will be cleaned up by the scheduled lcu_update which iterates over all existing pavgroups.
