Introduce scsi_dh_attached_handler_name() to retrieve the name of the
scsi_dh that is attached to the scsi_device associated with the provided
request queue. Returns NULL if a scsi_dh is not attached.
Also, fix scsi_dh_{attach,detach} function header comments to document
@q rather than @sdev.

A quote from SPC-4: "While in the unavailable primary target port
asymmetric access state, the device server shall support those of
the following commands that it supports while in the active/optimized
state: [ ... ] d) SET TARGET PORT GROUPS; [ ... ]". Hence re-enable
sending STPG to a target port group that is in the unavailable state.

Currently the backoff algorithm for when to retry alua rtpg
requests progresses geometrically as so:
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64... seconds.
This progression can lead to un-needed delay in retrying
alua rtpg requests when the rtpgs are delayed. A less
aggressive backoff algorithm that is additive would not
lead to such large jumps when delays start getting long, but
would backoff linearly:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10... seconds.

Some storage arrays are known to return 'illegal request'
when an rtpg extended header request is made. T10 says the
array should ignore the bit, and return the non-extended
rtpg as the array doesn't support the request. Working
around this by retrying the rtpg request without the extended
header bit set when the extended rtpg request results in
illegal request.

During alua transitions, an array can return transitioning
status in response to rtpg requests. These requests get
retried for a maximum of 60 seconds by default before timing
out. Sometimes this timeout isn't sufficient to allow the
array to complete the transition. T10-spc4 addresses this
under 'Report Target Port Groups' command.
This update retrieves the timeout value from the storage
array if available and retries the transitioning rtpgs
for up to the 'implied transitioning timeout' value

This patch optimizes the set target port group(STPG) command. During our
testing, we found that it is not optimal to send stpg command every time
the path group switch happens. This patch uses PREF (preferred target port)
bit with combination of flags passed by multipath user level tool to
optimize this behaviour. If PREF bit is set then it issues a STPG command,
otherwise it will let implicit transfer take place.
By default there is no change in the behaviour. User tool needs to pass the
parameter to make this change take effect. Patch has been tested on NetApp
E series storage.

For Target Portal Group IDs occupying the full 2 bytes in the
RTPG response, the following group_id check in the alua_rtpg
routine always fails in scsi_dh_alua.c:
if (h->group_id == (ucp[2] << 8) + ucp[3]) {
This causes the ALUA handler to wrongly identify the AAS of
a specified device as well as incorrectly interpreting the
supported AAS of the target as seen by the following entries
in the /var/log/messages:
"alua: port group 3ea state A supports tousna"
"alua: port group 3e9 state A supports tousna"
This is because 'ucp' is wrongly declared in alua_rtpg as
a character pointer instead of an unsigned character pointer.
