Subject: [S390] cio: Make ccw_dev_id_is_equal() more robust.

From: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@...ibm.com>

[S390] cio: Make ccw_dev_id_is_equal() more robust.

Using memcmp to compare ccw_dev_id implies that the whole structure (incl.
padding) has always been completely initialized to sane values. Comparing
the structures field by field doesn't make such assumptions.
