rbd: add force close option
This adds a force close option, so we can force the unmapping of a rbd device that is open. If a path/device is blacklisted, apps like multipathd can map a new device and then unmap the old one. The unmapping cleanup would then be handled by the generic hotunplug code paths in multipahd like is done for iSCSI, FC/FCOE, SAS, etc. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <mchristi@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com>
