[SCSI] scsi_dh_alua: Inroduce the set_params interface scsi_dh_alua handler
Handler expects only one parameter to set the flag ALUA_OPTIMIZE_STPG. This flag is used to optimize the STPG behaviour. There is no change in behaviour by default. For example, to set the flag pass the following parameters from multipath.conf hardware_handler "2 alua 1" Signed-off-by: Babu Moger <babu.moger@netapp.com> Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>
