REORG PREFORMAT of 1 TB page set should be interruptable

With PH64760 one can create 1TB page sets in one step. If one runs a REORG PREFORMAT on such large objects, the Media Manager Preformat task is not interruptable. Such a size of 1TB needs ~1.5hours to preformat the page set. In the meanwhile neither a -TERM UTIL nor a CANCEL the REORG job nor a STOP DB2 MODE(FORCE) nor ... could end this background task.

This hunging around could have side-effects in case an urgency occurs to end the job or even DB2.

This idea has the purpose to get a solution for this, as development thinks that this enhancement is out of scope of an APAR.
