[S390] smp: fix sigp sense handling
sigp sense only returns the status of a cpu if it is non zero. If the status of the sensed cpu is all zeros condition code 0 (accpeted) is set and no status bits are returned. The current code however assumes that a status was returned and tests bits in it. This means uninitalized data is accessed with random results. Worst case is that the code that checks if cpu is offline on cpu hotplug assumes that the target cpu is offline while it is still running. This leads potentially to memory corruption since resources that are still needed by the target cpu will be freed and could be resused while still in use.
