[S390] qdio: rework debug feature logging

- make qdio_trace a per device view
- remove s390dbf exceptions
- remove CONFIG_QDIO_DEBUG, not needed anymore if we check for the level
  before calling sprintf
- use snprintf for dbf entries
- add start markers to see if the dbf view wrapped
- add a global error view for all queues
