qdiskd: Make multipath issues go away [RHEL6, take2]

Qdiskd hsitorically has required significant tuning to work around delays which occur during multipath failover, overloaded I/O, and LUN trespasses in both device-mapper-multipath and EMC PowerPath environments.

This patch goes a very long way towards eliminating false evictions when these conditions occur by making qdiskd whine to the other cluster members when it detects hung system calls. When a cluster member whines, it indicates the source of the problem (which system call is hung), and the act of receiving a whine from a host indicates that qdiskd is operational, but that I/O is hung. Hung I/O is different from losing storage entirely (where you get I/O errors).

Possible problems:

- Receive queue getting very full, causing messages to become blocked on a node where I/O is hung. 1) that would take a very long time, and 2) node should get evicted at that point anyway.

Resolves: rhbz#678372
