[Devel] [PATCH] target: add an user-mode helper to handle changes of a group state

An user-mode helper is a user command, which is executed before changing
a group state. It allows userspace to run required actions to handle a
new state.

For example, our storage doesn't allow to open one file from a few
nodes, so when a target is switched from standby to active, we have to
get a lease to an image file and to attach it to a ploop device.

The usermode helper is executed with this set of arguments:

TG_PT_Group ID prev_state new_state {explicit/implicit}

for example:
default_tg_pt_gp 0 Standby Active/NonOptimized explicit

Here is an example how to set and cleanup a helper:
$ cd /sys/kernel/config/target/core/
$ echo -n /usr/sbin/vstrorage_iscsi_alua > \
	fileio_1/iqn.2014-06.com.vstorage:test-2/alua/default_tg_pt_gp/user_helper
$ echo -n - > fileio_1/iqn.2014-06.com.vstorage:test-2/alua/default_tg_pt_gp/user_helper
