Introduce sysfs infrastructure for exofs cluster filesystem.

Each OSD target shows up as below in the sysfs hierarchy:
	/sys/fs/exofs/&lt;osdname&gt;_&lt;partition_id&gt;/devX

Where &lt;osdname&gt;_&lt;partition_id&gt; is the unique identification
of a Superblock.

Where devX: 0 &lt;= X &lt; device_table_size. They are ordered
in device-table order as specified to the mkfs.exofs command

Each OSD device  devX has following attributes :
	osdname - ReadOnly
	systemid - ReadOnly
	uri - Read/Write

It is up to user-mode to update devX/uri for support of
autologin.

These sysfs information are used both for autologin as well
as support for exporting exofs via a pNFSD server in user-mode.
(.eg NFS-Ganesha)

Users like the objlayout-driver would like to only pass
a partial device table that covers the IO in question.
For example exofs divides the file into raid-group-sized
chunks and only serves group_width number of devices at
a time.

The partiality is communicated by setting
ore_componets-&gt;first_dev and the array covers all logical
devices from oc-&gt;first_dev upto (oc-&gt;first_dev + oc-&gt;numdevs)

The ore_comp_dev() API receives a logical device index
and returns the actual present device in the table.
An out-of-range dev_index will BUG.

Logical device index is the theoretical device index as if
all the devices of a file are present. .i.e:
	total_devs = group_width * mirror_p1 * group_count
	0 &lt;= dev_index &lt; total_devs

In the pNFS obj-LD the device table at the layout level needs
to point to a device_cache node, where it is possible and likely
that many layouts will point to the same device-nodes.

In Exofs we have a more orderly structure where we have a single
array of devices that repeats twice for a round-robin view of the
device table

This patch moves to a model that can be used by the pNFS obj-LD
where struct ore_components holds an array of ore_dev-pointers.
(ore_dev is newly defined and contains a struct osd_dev *od
 member)

Each pointer in the array of pointers will point to a bigger
user-defined dev_struct. That can be accessed by use of the
container_of macro.

In Exofs an __alloc_dev_table() function allocates the
ore_dev-pointers array as well as an exofs_dev array, in one
allocation and does the addresses dance to set everything pointing
correctly. It still keeps the double allocation trick for the
inodes round-robin view of the table.

The device table is always allocated dynamically, also for the
single device case. So it is unconditionally freed at umount.

The struct pnfs_osd_data_map data_map member of exofs_sb_info was
never used after mount. In fact all it's members were duplicated
by the ore_layout structure. So just remove the duplicated information.

Also removed some stupid, but perfectly supported, restrictions on
layout parameters. The case where num_devices is not divisible by
mirror_count+1 is perfectly fine since the rotating device view
will eventually use all the devices it can get.

ORE stands for "Objects Raid Engine"

This patch is a mechanical rename of everything that was in ios.c
and its API declaration to an ore.c and an osd_ore.h header. The ore
engine will later be used by the pnfs objects layout driver.

* File ios.c =&gt; ore.c

* Declaration of types and API are moved from exofs.h to a new
  osd_ore.h

* All used types are prefixed by ore_ from their exofs_ name.

* Shift includes from exofs.h to osd_ore.h so osd_ore.h is
  independent, include it from exofs.h.

Other than a pure rename there are no other changes. Next patch
will move the ore into it's own module and will export the API
to be used by exofs and later the layout driver

<title>exofs: ios: Move to a per inode components &amp; device-table</title>

Exofs raid engine was saving on memory space by having a single layout-info,
single pid, and a single device-table, global to the filesystem. Then passing
a credential and object_id info at the io_state level, private for each
inode. It would also devise this contraption of rotating the device table
view for each inode-&gt;ino to spread out the device usage.

This is not compatible with the pnfs-objects standard, demanding that
each inode can have it's own layout-info, device-table, and each object
component it's own pid, oid and creds.

So: Bring exofs raid engine to be usable for generic pnfs-objects use by:

* Define an exofs_comp structure that holds obj_id and credential info.

* Break up exofs_layout struct to an exofs_components structure that holds a
  possible array of exofs_comp and the array of devices + the size of the
  arrays.

* Add a "comps" parameter to get_io_state() that specifies the ids creds
  and device array to use for each IO.

  This enables to keep the layout global, but the device-table view, creds
  and IDs at the inode level. It only adds two 64bit to each inode, since
  some of these members already existed in another form.

* ios raid engine now access layout-info and comps-info through the passed
  pointers. Everything is pre-prepared by caller for generic access of
  these structures and arrays.

At the exofs Level:

* Super block holds an exofs_components struct that holds the device
  array, previously in layout. The devices there are in device-table
  order. The device-array is twice bigger and repeats the device-table
  twice so now each inode's device array can point to a random device
  and have a round-robin view of the table, making it compatible to
  previous exofs versions.

* Each inode has an exofs_components struct that is initialized at
  load time, with it's own view of the device table IDs and creds.
  When doing IO this gets passed to the io_state together with the
  layout.

While preforming this change. Bugs where found where credentials with the
wrong IDs where used to access the different SB objects (super.c). As well
as some dead code. It was never noticed because the target we use does not
check the credentials.
