This causes a change in behaviour for devices in the notoper state.
Now: - vfio_ccw_sch_irq is called - via the state machine, disabling the subchannel is (re-)triggered
With your patch: - the work function is queued in any case; eventually, it will change the device's state to idle (unless we don't have an mdev at that point in time) - completion is signaled
I'm not sure that's what we want.
