Josh Durgin 51703306b3 rbd: remove buggy rollback functionality
This doesn't interact with resizing well, since it doesn't set the
size of the device to the size at the snapshot. It's also an expensive
operation to be synchronous. Rollback can still be done with the
userspace rbd tool.

Description:
Being used for adding and removing rbd block devices.
Usage: <mon ip addr> <options> <pool name> <rbd image name> [snap name]
$ echo "192.168.0.1 name=admin rbd foo" > /sys/bus/rbd/add
The snapshot name can be "-" or omitted to map the image read/write. A <dev-id>
will be assigned for any registered block device. If snapshot is used, it will
be mapped read-only.
Removal of a device:
$ echo <dev-id> > /sys/bus/rbd/remove
Entries under /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/
