This patch adds support for ALUA MI_REPORT_TARGET_PGS extended header
format defined within SPC-4. It changes target core ALUA emulation logic
within target_emulate_report_target_port_groups() to support both the
extended and original length only header formats.
It includes adding a new 'implict_trans_secs' attribute for each ALUA
target port group to control the value returned to the application client
for an recommended implict translation timeout in seconds. By default
this value is currently set to zero, and limited up to 255 by virtue of
using a single byte in the extended header format.
This value is used by target_emulate_report_target_port_groups() within
the extended header logic to set IMPLICIT TRANSITION TIME as defined by
spc4r30.

Make CDB emulation work on commands instead of tasks again as a preparation
of removing tasks completely.

We want to be able to handle all CDBs through it and remove hacks like
always using the first task in a CDB in target_report_luns.
Also rename the callback to ->execute_task to better describe its use.

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
