Previously the rnbd client requested the rtrs to allocate rnbd_iu
just after the rtrs_iu. So the rnbd client passes the size of
rnbd_iu for rtrs_clt_open() and rtrs creates an array of
rnbd_iu and rtrs_iu.

For IO handling, rnbd_iu exists after the request because we pass
the size of rnbd_iu when setting the tag-set. Therefore we do not
use the rnbd_iu allocated by rtrs for IO handling.
We only use the rnbd_iu allocated by rtrs when doing session
initialization. Almost all rnbd_iu allocated by rtrs are wasted.

By this patch the rnbd client does not request rnbd_iu allocation
to rtrs but allocate it for itself when doing session initialization.

Also remove unused rtrs_permit_to_pdu from rtrs.

<title>block/rnbd-clt: Dynamically allocate sglist for rnbd_iu</title>

<content type='text'>
The BMAX_SEGMENT static array for scatterlist is embedded in
rnbd_iu structure to avoid memory allocation in hot IO path.
In many cases, we do need only several sg entries because many IOs
have only several segments.

This patch change rnbd_iu to check the number of segments in the request
and allocate sglist dynamically.

For io path, use sg_alloc_table_chained to allocate sg list faster.

First it makes two sg entries after pdu of request.
The sg_alloc_table_chained uses the pre-allocated sg entries
if the number of segments of the request is less than two.
So it reduces the number of memory allocation.

<title>block/rnbd: Set write-back cache and fua same to the target device</title>

<id>512c781fd28cb401ee9f2843e32bf4640732c671</id>
<content type='text'>
The rnbd-client always sets the write-back cache and fua attributes
of the rnbd device queue regardless of the target device on the server.
That generates IO hang issue when the target device does not
support both of write-back cacne and fua.

This patch adds more fields for the cache policy and fua into the
device opening message. The rnbd-server sends the information
if the target device supports the write-back cache and fua
and rnbd-client recevives it and set the device queue accordingly.

Currently in the case where dev-&gt;blk_symlink_name fails to be allocates
the error return path attempts to set an end-of-string character to
the unallocated dev-&gt;blk_symlink_name causing a null pointer dereference
error. Fix this by returning with an explicity ENOMEM error (which also
is missing in the original code as was not initialized).

For every rnbd_clt_dev, we alloc the pathname and blk_symlink_name
statically to NAME_MAX which is 255 bytes. In most of the cases we only
need less than 10 bytes, so 500 bytes per block device are wasted.

This commit dynamically allocates memory buffer for pathname and
blk_symlink_name.
