[PATCH 0/4 V2] SCSI COMPARE_AND_WRITE command support

[Yaowei Bai <baiyaowei@cmss.chinamobile.com>]

Recently ceph/librbd added several interfaces to handle SCSI commands like
COMPARE_AND_WRITE directly. However they were only be used in special
scenarios, i.e. ISCSI. That involves more software components which makes
the IO path longer and could bring more potential issues. Actually we're
maintaining several ceph clusters with ISCSI protocal being used which,
i have to say, is not an easy job.

So supporting COMPARE_AND_WRITE in scsi-disk would be a reasonable solution
and easy to implement with the help of the SCSI handlers in librbd, which
could leave alone the ISCSI stuff and make the IO path shorter.

This patchset implements it by reusing the blk_aio_pwritev interface and
introducing a new BDRV_REQ_COMPARE_AND_WRITE element into BdrvRequestFlags
to indicate a COMPARE_AND_WRITE request, rather than adding a new interface
into block-backend.c.

The FUA support is implemented in the blk_aio_pwritev's callback function
similar to its emulation in scsi_write_do_fua function, maybe through
BDRV_REQ_FUA is another doable way.

This patchset is tested with the method of sg_compare_and_write.txt from
sg3_utils. Link below:
