Subject: [S390] cio: use barrier() in stsch_reset.

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@...ibm.com>

[S390] cio: use barrier() in stsch_reset.

Use barrier() in stsch_reset() instead of duplicating the stsch()
inline assembly and adding "memory" to the clobberlist.
Pointed out by Chuck Ebbert.

Real fix would be to add a fixup section to the stsch() and extend the
basic program check handler so it searches the exception tables in case
of a program check.
