[PATCH] s390: instruction processing damage handling 

In case of an instruction processing damage (IPD) machine check in kernel mode
the resulting action is always to stop the kernel.  This is not necessarily
the best solution since a retry of the failing instruction might succeed.  Add
logic to retry the instruction if no more than 30 instruction processing
damage checks occured in the last 5 minutes.
