[ Upstream commit 3566ee1d776c1393393564b2514f9cd52a49c16e ]
As vfio-ccw devices are created/destroyed, the uuid of the associated
mdevs that are recorded in $S390DBF/vfio_ccw_msg/sprintf get lost.
This is because a pointer to the UUID is stored instead of the UUID
itself, and that memory may have been repurposed if/when the logs are
examined. The result is usually garbage UUID data in the logs, though
there is an outside chance of an oops happening here.
Simply remove the UUID from the traces, as the subchannel number will
provide useful configuration information for problem determination,
and is stored directly into the log instead of a pointer.
As we were the only consumer of mdev_uuid(), remove that too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
