rbd: replace the rbd sysfs interface



The new interface creates directories per mapped image
and under each it creates a subdir per available snapshot.
This allows keeping a cleaner interface within the sysfs
guidelines. The ABI documentation was updated too.

Description:

Being used for adding and removing rbd block devices.

Usage: <mon ip addr> <options> <pool name> <rbd image name> [snap name]

 $ echo "192.168.0.1 name=admin rbd foo" > /sys/bus/rbd/add

The snapshot name can be "-" or omitted to map the image read/write. A <dev-id>
will be assigned for any registered block device. If snapshot is used, it will
be mapped read-only.

Removal of a device:

  $ echo <dev-id> > /sys/bus/rbd/remove

Entries under /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/
--------------------------------------------

client_id

	The ceph unique client id that was assigned for this specific session.

major

	The block device major number.

name

	The name of the rbd image.

pool

	The pool where this rbd image resides. The pool-name pair is unique
	per rados system.

size

	The size (in bytes) of the mapped block device.

refresh

	Writing to this file will reread the image header data and set
	all relevant datastructures accordingly.

current_snap

	The current snapshot for which the device is mapped.

create_snap

	Create a snapshot:

	 $ echo <snap-name> > /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/snap_create

rollback_snap

	Rolls back data to the specified snapshot. This goes over the entire
	list of rados blocks and sends a rollback command to each.

	 $ echo <snap-name> > /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/snap_rollback

snap_*

	A directory per each snapshot


Entries under /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/snap_<snap-name>
-------------------------------------------------------------

id

	The rados internal snapshot id assigned for this snapshot

size

	The size of the image when this snapshot was taken.
