Hm, not sure whether it is a good idea to conflate "something went
wrong" and "device is not operational". In the latter case, we will
eventually get a removal of the css device when the common I/O layer has
processed the channel report for the subchannel; while the former case
could mean all kind of things, but the subchannel will likely stay
around. I think NOT_OPER was always meant to be a transitional state.

I remember some serialization issues wrt cp_free() etc. coming up every
now and than; that might need extra care (I'm taking a look.)

The problem is that there is not really a uniform thing that can be done
for shutdown; e.g. we can quiesce and then disable I/O and EADM
subchannels, but CHSC subchannels cannot be quiesced.
