Subject: [PATCH v13 6/6] KVM: s390: pv: module parameter to fence asynchronous destroy

Add the module parameter "async_destroy", to allow the asynchronous
destroy mechanism to be switched off. This might be useful for
debugging purposes.

The parameter is enabled by default since the feature is opt-in anyway.
