Our intention was to only remove path kobjects whenever a device is
being set offline. However, one corner case was missing.
If a device is disabled and enabled (using the IOCTLs BIODASDDISABLE and
BIODASDENABLE respectively), the enabling process will call
dasd_eckd_reload_device() which itself calls dasd_eckd_read_conf() in
order to update path information. During that update,
dasd_eckd_clear_conf_data() clears all old data and also removes all
kobjects. This will leave us with an inconsistent state of path kobjects
and a subsequent path verification leads to a failing kobject creation.
Fix this by removing kobjects only in the context of offlining a device
as initially intended.
