ublk: support device recovery without I/O queueing



ublk currently supports the following behaviors on ublk server exit:

A: outstanding I/Os get errors, subsequently issued I/Os get errors
B: outstanding I/Os get errors, subsequently issued I/Os queue
C: outstanding I/Os get reissued, subsequently issued I/Os queue

and the following behaviors for recovery of preexisting block devices by
a future incarnation of the ublk server:

1: ublk devices stopped on ublk server exit (no recovery possible)
2: ublk devices are recoverable using start/end_recovery commands

The userspace interface allows selection of combinations of these
behaviors using flags specified at device creation time, namely:

default behavior: A + 1
UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY: B + 2
UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY|UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY_REISSUE: C + 2

The behavior A + 2 is currently unsupported. Add support for this
behavior under the new flag combination
UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY|UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY_FAIL_IO.
