Multipath is best at handling transport errors. If it gets a device
error then there is not much the multipath layer can do. It will just
access the same device but from a different path.
This patch breaks up failfast into device, transport and driver errors.
The multipath layers (md and dm mutlipath) only ask the lower levels to
fast fail transport errors. The user of failfast, read ahead, will ask
to fast fail on all errors.
Note that blk_noretry_request will return true if any failfast bit
is set. This allows drivers that do not support the multipath failfast
bits to continue to fail on any failfast error like before. Drivers
like scsi that are able to fail fast specific errors can check
for the specific fail fast type. In the next patch I will convert
scsi.

multipath keeps a separate device table which may be
more current than the built-in one.
So we should make sure to always call ->attach whenever
a multipath map with hardware handler is instantiated.
And we should call ->detach on removal, too.

Implement a 'dh_state' sdev attribute for dynamic device handler
manipulation. A read on the attribute will return the name of
the currently attached device handler or 'detached' if no handler
is attached.
The attribute allows the following strings to be written:
- The name of the device handler to be attached if the state is
'detached'.
- 'activate' to trigger path activation if a device handler
is attached.
- 'detach' to detach the currently attached device handler.

Instead of having each and every driver implement its own
device table scanning code we should rather implement a common
routine and scan the device tables there.
This allows us also to implement a general notifier chain
callback for all device handler instead for one per handler.

Some of the storage devices (that can be accessed through multiple paths),
do need some special handling for
1. Activating the passive path of the storage access.
2. Decode and handle the special sense codes returned by the devices.
3. Handle the I/Os being sent to the passive path, especially
during the device probe time.
when accessed through multiple paths.
As of today this special device handling is done at the dm-multipath
layer using dm-handlers. That works well for (1); for (2) to be handled
at dm layer, scsi sense information need to be exported from SCSI to dm-layer,
which is not very attractive; (3) cannot be done at all at the dm layer.
Device handler has been moved to SCSI mainly to handle (2) and (3) properly.
