rbd: define rbd_dev_image_id()
New format 2 rbd images are permanently identified by a unique image id. Each rbd image also has a name, but the name can be changed. A format 2 rbd image will have an object--whose name is based on the image name--which maps an image's name to its image id. Create a new function rbd_dev_image_id() that checks for the existence of the image id object, and if it's found, records the image id in the rbd_device structure. Create a new rbd device attribute (/sys/bus/rbd/<num>/image_id) that makes this information available. Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <elder@inktank.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Durgin <josh.durgin@inktank.com>
