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.
