[S390] dasd: fix race between open and offline

The dasd_open function uses the private_data pointer of the gendisk to
find the dasd_block structure that matches the gendisk. When a DASD
device is set offline, we set the private_data pointer of the gendisk
to NULL and later remove the dasd_block structure, but there is still
a small race window, in which dasd_open could first read a pointer
from the private_data field and then try to use it, after the structure
has already been freed.
To close this race window, we will store a pointer to the dasd_devmap
structure of the base device in the private_data field. The devmap
entries are not deleted, and we already have proper locking and
reference counting in place, so that we can safely get from a devmap
pointer to the dasd_device and dasd_block structures of the device.
