[RFC PATCH] scsi_dh: allow 3rd party multipath drivers to scsi_dh_detach

[Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Some scsi_dh modules are known to conflict with with 3rd party multipath
drivers (e.g. scsi_dh_emc conflicts with EMC PowerPath).

Allow 3rd party multipath drivers to programatically detach a scsi_dh
using the scsi_dh_detach() interface rather than require writing
'detach' to /sys/block/sdX/queue/dh_state

[begs the question: why are _any_ of the scsi_dh symbols
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL?  Linux would benefit from more 3rd party use of
scsi_dh*.  As it stands, Linux is being held back from having better
default handling of multipath LUNs purely because 3rd parties may not
play nicely with scsi_dh* being attached]
