Merge branch 's390-qeth-next'

Julian Wiedmann says:

====================
s390/qeth: updates 2019-02-12

please apply one more round of qeth patches to net-next.
This series targets the driver's control paths. It primarily brings improvements
to the error handling for sent cmds and received responses, along with the
usual cleanup and consolidation efforts.
