Bug description:
  Description:  s390/cio: update measurement characteristics
  Symptom:      lschp shows stale information in the "Cmg" and "Shared"
                column.
  Problem:      Measurement characteristics are read only during IPL
                and are not updated when capabilities of a chpid change.
  Solution:     Keep measurement characteristics up to date.
  Reproduction: chchp -c 1 <chpid> ; lschp

      s390/cio: fix measurement characteristics memleak
      
      Measurement characteristics are allocated during channel path
      registration but not freed during deregistration. Fix this by
      embedding these characteristics inside struct channel_path.

      s390/cio: ensure consistent measurement state
      
      Make sure that in all cases where we could not obtain measurement
      characteristics the associated fields are set to invalid values.
      
      Note: without this change the "shared" capability of a channel path
      for which we could not obtain the measurement characteristics was
      incorrectly displayed as 0 (not shared). We will now correctly
      report "unknown" in this case.

      s390/cio: update measurement characteristics
      
      Per channel path measurement characteristics are obtained during channel
      path registration. However if some properties of a channel path change
      we don't update the measurement characteristics.
      
      Make sure to update the characteristics when we change the properties of
      a channel path or receive a notification from FW about such a change.
