de103c93af target: pass sense_reason as a return value
Pass the sense reason as an explicit return value from the I/O submission
path instead of storing it in struct se_cmd and using negative return
values.  This cleans up a lot of the code pathes, and with the sparse
annotations for the new sense_reason_t type allows for much better
error checking.

(nab: Convert spc_emulate_modesense + spc_emulate_modeselect to use
      sense_reason_t with Roland's MODE SELECT changes)

c66ac9db8d [SCSI] target: Add LIO target core v4.0.0-rc6
LIO target is a full featured in-kernel target framework with the
following feature set:

High-performance, non-blocking, multithreaded architecture with SIMD
support.

Advanced SCSI feature set:

    * Persistent Reservations (PRs)
    * Asymmetric Logical Unit Assignment (ALUA)
    * Protocol and intra-nexus multiplexing, load-balancing and failover (MC/S)
    * Full Error Recovery (ERL=0,1,2)
    * Active/active task migration and session continuation (ERL=2)
    * Thin LUN provisioning (UNMAP and WRITE_SAMExx)

Multiprotocol target plugins

Storage media independence:

    * Virtualization of all storage media; transparent mapping of IO to LUNs
    * No hard limits on number of LUNs per Target; maximum LUN size ~750 TB
    * Backstores: SATA, SAS, SCSI, BluRay, DVD, FLASH, USB, ramdisk, etc.

Standards compliance:

    * Full compliance with IETF (RFC 3720)
    * Full implementation of SPC-4 PRs and ALUA

Significant code cleanups done by Christoph Hellwig.

[jejb: fix up for new block bdev exclusive interface. Minor fixes from
 Randy Dunlap and Dan Carpenter.]
