s390/qeth: fix false reporting of VNIC CHAR config failure
Symptom: Error message "Configuring the VNIC characteristics failed"
in dmesg whenever an OSA interface on z15 is set online.
The VNIC characteristics get re-programmed when setting a L2 device
online. This follows the selected 'wanted' characteristics - with the
exception that the INVISIBLE characteristic unconditionally gets
switched off.
For devices that don't support INVISIBLE (ie. OSA), the resulting
IO failure raises a noisy error message
("Configuring the VNIC characteristics failed").
For IQD, INVISIBLE is off by default anyways.
So don't unnecessarily special-case the INVISIBLE characteristic, and
thereby suppress the misleading error message on OSA devices.
