s390/pci: Use 32-bit fh outside of inline asm
zpci_refresh_trans() declared the PCI function handle as a u64 type just
because the actual RPCIT machine instruction required that in a 64bit
register, while the function handle is architected as a 32bit type and
defined as such in the zpci_dev struct.

[Severity: High]
Does this retry loop risk causing an infinite loop or CPU stall when handling
large DMA spaces?
When the s390x RPCIT instruction sets CC=2, it indicates that it cannot complete
the operation in the allotted time. It then updates the address and range
registers to reflect the remaining uncompleted portion.
However, in __rpcit(), addr_range is passed using an input-only constraint ("d"
instead of "+d"), and the arguments are passed by value:
arch/s390/pci/pci_insn.c:__rpcit() {
union register_pair addr_range = {.even = addr, .odd = range};
...
: [addr_range] "d" (addr_range.pair)
}
Because the hardware's partial progress updates to addr and range are discarded,
this loop continually re-invokes __rpcit() with the unmodified original
addr and range.
If scanning the initial portion consistently exhausts the hardware time slice
(such as during IOMMU TLB flushes on devices with large DMA spaces in
zpci_refresh_all()), will the operation fail to advance and loop infinitely?
