Subject: [PATCH 2/6] s390/vmlogrdr: Make use of iucv_alloc_device()

Make use of iucv_alloc_device() to get rid of quite some code. In addition
this also removes a cast to an incompatible function (clang W=1):

  drivers/s390/char/vmlogrdr.c:746:18: error: cast from 'void (*)(const void *)' to 'void (*)(struct device *)' converts to incompatible function type [-Werror,-Wcast-function-type-strict]
    746 |                 dev->release = (void (*)(struct device *))kfree;
        |                                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reported-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@...nel.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240417-s390-drivers-fix-cast-function-type-v1-1-fd048c9903b0@kernel.org
