2017-03-16md: add sysfs entries for PPLArtur Paszkiewicz1-3/+29
Add 'consistency_policy' attribute for array. It indicates how the array maintains consistency in case of unexpected shutdown. Add 'ppl_sector' and 'ppl_size' for rdev, which describe the location and size of the PPL space on the device. They can't be changed for active members if the array is started and PPL is enabled, so in the setter functions only basic checks are performed. More checks are done in ppl_validate_rdev() when starting the log. These attributes are writable to allow enabling PPL for external metadata arrays and (later) to enable/disable PPL for a running array.
