[SCSI] target: Add LIO target core v4.0.0-rc6
LIO target is a full featured in-kernel target framework with the
following feature set:
High-performance, non-blocking, multithreaded architecture with SIMD
support.
Advanced SCSI feature set:
    * Persistent Reservations (PRs)
    * Asymmetric Logical Unit Assignment (ALUA)
    * Protocol and intra-nexus multiplexing, load-balancing and failover (MC/S)
    * Full Error Recovery (ERL=0,1,2)
    * Active/active task migration and session continuation (ERL=2)
    * Thin LUN provisioning (UNMAP and WRITE_SAMExx)
Multiprotocol target plugins
Storage media independence:
    * Virtualization of all storage media; transparent mapping of IO to LUNs
    * No hard limits on number of LUNs per Target; maximum LUN size ~750 TB
    * Backstores: SATA, SAS, SCSI, BluRay, DVD, FLASH, USB, ramdisk, etc.
Standards compliance:
    * Full compliance with IETF (RFC 3720)
    * Full implementation of SPC-4 PRs and ALUA
Significant code cleanups done by Christoph Hellwig.
