KVM: s390: Remove non-atomic dat_crstep_xchg()

Browse source 
In practice dat_crstep_xchg() is racy and hard to use correctly. Simply
remove it and replace its uses with dat_crstep_xchg_atomic().

This solves some actual races that lead to system hangs / crashes.

Opportunistically fix an alignment issue in _gmap_crstep_xchg_atomic().
