s390x/css: drop data-check in interpretation
The architecture says that channel-data check is indicating that
an uncorrected storage (memory) error has been detected in regard
to the data residing in main storage (memory) that is currently
used for an I/O operation. The described detection is done using
the CBC technology.
The ccw interpretation code is however generating a channel-data check
effectively when the (device specific) ccw_cb returns -EFAULT. In case
of virtio-ccw devices this happens when mapping memory fails, or when a
NULL pointer is encountered. So this behavior is not architecture
conform.
Furthermore the best fit for these situations (null pointer, mapping a
piece of guest memory fails) from architectural perspective the condition
described as the channel subsystem refers to a location that is not
available, which when encountered shall result in a channel-program
check.
To fix this, all we have to do is to get rid of the switch case matching
-EFAULT: the default is generating a channel-program check.
