ublk: persistent device links

Implement a 'uuid' parameter to export a device UUID in a sysfs attribute 'uuid'. This allows udev to create persistent device links for ublk devices:

KERNEL=="ublkb*", ATTRS{uuid}=="?*", SYMLINK+="disk/by-id/ublk-$attr{uuid}"

Implement a 'uuid' parameter to export a device UUID in a sysfs attribute 'uuid'. This allows udev to create persistent device links for ublk devices:

KERNEL=="ublkb*", ATTRS{uuid}=="?*", SYMLINK+="disk/by-id/ublk-$attr{uuid}"

uuid is passed from ublk server, so the uniqueness has to be provided by ublk server.

So far, the ublk device ID is guaranteed to be unique, can we export ublk device id instead?
