[PATCH v3 2/3] s390/vfio-ap: set status response code to 06 on gisc registration failure

From: Anthony Krowiak <akrowiak@linux.ibm.com>

The interception handler for the PQAP(AQIC) command calls the
kvm_s390_gisc_register function to register the guest ISC with the channel
subsystem. If that call fails, the status response code 08 - indicating
Invalid ZONE/GISA designation - is returned to the guest. This response
code is not valid because setting the ZONE/GISA values is the
responsibility of the hypervisor controlling the guest and there is nothing
that can be done from the guest perspective to correct that problem.

The likelihood of GISC registration failure is nil and there is no status
response code to indicate an invalid ISC value, so let's set the response
code to 06 indicating 'Invalid address of AP-queue notification byte'.
While this is not entirely accurate, it is better than setting a response
code which makes no sense for the guest.
