DM RAID:  Add message/status support for changing sync action

This patch adds a message interface to dm-raid to allow the user to more
finely control the sync actions being performed by the MD driver.  This
gives the user the ability to initiate "check" and "repair" (i.e. scrubbing).
Two additional fields have been appended to the status output to provide more
information about the type of sync action occurring and the results of those
actions, specifically: <sync_action> and <mismatch_cnt>.  These new fields
will always be populated.  This is essentially the device-mapper way of doing
what MD controls through the 'sync_action' sysfs file and shows through the
'mismatch_cnt' sysfs file.

+which are 'A'live, and the array is 2/490221568 complete with its initial
+recovery.  Here is a fuller description of the individual fields:
+       <raid_type>     Same as the <raid_type> used to create the array.
+       <health_chars>  One char for each device, indicating: 'A' = alive and
+                       in-sync, 'a' = alive but not in-sync, 'D' = dead/failed.
+       <sync_ratio>    The ratio indicating how much of the array has undergone
+                       the process described by 'sync_action'.  If the
+                       'sync_action' is "check" or "repair", then the process
+                       of "resync" or "recover" can be considered complete.
+       <sync_action>   One of the following possible states:
+                       idle    - No synchronization action is being performed.
+                       frozen  - The current action has been halted.
+                       resync  - Array is undergoing its initial synchronization
+                                 or is resynchronizing after an unclean shutdown
+                                 (possibly aided by a bitmap).
+                       recover - A device in the array is being rebuilt or
+                                 replaced.
+                       check   - A user-initiated full check of the array is
+                                 being performed.  All blocks are read and
+                                 checked for consistency.  The number of
+                                 discrepancies found are recorded in
+                                 <mismatch_cnt>.  No changes are made to the
+                                 array by this action.
+                       repair  - The same as "check", but discrepancies are
+                                 corrected.
+                       reshape - The array is undergoing a reshape.
+       <mismatch_cnt>  The number of discrepancies found between mirror copies
+                       in RAID1/10 or wrong parity values found in RAID4/5/6.
+                       This value is valid only after a "check" of the array

+-----------------
+The dm-raid target will accept certain actions through the 'message' interface.

+include:

+       "resync" - Initiate/continue a resync.
+       "recover"- Initiate/continue a recover process.
+       "check"  - Initiate a check (i.e. a "scrub") of the array.
