[S390] cio/crw: add/fix locking

The crw_unregister_handler uses xchg + synchronize_sched when
unregistering a crw_handler.
This doesn't protect crw_collect_info to potentially jump to NULL since
it has unlocked code like this:

if (crw_handlers[i])
        crw_handlers[i](NULL, NULL, 1);

So add a mutex which protects the crw handler array for changes.
