s390/ap: introduce mutex to lock the AP bus scan
Rework the invocations around ap_scan_bus(): - Protect ap_scan_bus() with a mutex to make sure only one scan at a time is running. - The workqueue invocation which is triggered by either the module init or via AP bus scan timer expiration uses this mutex and if there is already a scan running, the work is simple aborted (as the job is done by another task). - The ap_bus_force_rescan() which is invoked by higher level layers mostly on failures which indicate a bus scan may help is reworked to call ap_scan_bus() direct instead of enqueuing work into a system workqueue and waiting for that to finish. Of course the mutex is respected and in case of another task already running a bus scan the shortcut of waiting for this scan to finish and reusing the scan result is taken.
