[SCSI] osd_uld: API for retrieving osd devices from Kernel 

Kernel clients like exofs can retrieve struct osd_dev(s)
by means of below API.

+ osduld_path_lookup() - given a path (e.g "/dev/osd0") locks and
returns the corresponding struct osd_dev, which is then needed
for subsequent libosd use.

+ osduld_put_device() - free up use of an osd_dev.

Devices can be shared by multiple clients. The osd_uld_device's
life time is governed by an embedded kref structure.

The osd_uld_device holds an extra reference to both it's
char-device and it's scsi_device, and will release these just
before the final deallocation.

There are three possible lock sources of the osd_uld_device
1. First and for most is the probe() function called by
  scsi-ml upon a successful login into a target. Released in release()
  when logout.
2. Second by user-mode file handles opened on the char-dev.
3. Third is here by Kernel users.
All three locks must be removed before the osd_uld_device is freed.

The MODULE has three lock sources as well:
1. scsi-ml at probe() time, removed after release(). (login/logout)
2. The user-mode file handles open/close.
3. Import symbols by client modules like exofs.

TODO:
  This API is not enough for the pNFS-objects LD. A more versatile
  API will be needed. Proposed API could be:
  struct osd_dev *osduld_sysid_lookup(const char id[OSD_SYSTEMID_LEN]);
