Rework CTL frontend & backend options to use nv(3), allow creating multiple
ioctl frontend ports.

This revision introduces two changes to CTL:
- Changes the way options are passed to CTL_LUN_REQ and CTL_PORT_REQ ioctls.
Removes ctl_be_arg structure and associated logic and replaces it with
nv(3)-based logic for passing in and out arguments.
- Allows creating multiple ioctl frontend ports using either ctladm(8) or
ctld(8).
New frontend ports are represented by /dev/cam/ctl<pp>.<vp> nodes, eg /dev/cam/ctl5.3.
Those device nodes respond only to CTL_IO ioctl.

New command-line options for ctladm:
# creates new ioctl frontend port with using free pp and vp=0
ctladm port -c
# creates new ioctl frontend port with pp=10 and vp=0
ctladm port -c -O pp=10
# creates new ioctl frontend port with pp=11 and vp=12
ctladm port -c -O pp=11 -O vp=12
# removes port with number 4 (it's a "targ_port" number, not pp number)
ctladm port -r -p 4

New syntax for ctl.conf:
target ... {
port ioctl/<pp>
...
}

target ... {
port ioctl/<pp>/<vp>
...

Revert r327828, r327949, r327953, r328016-r328026, r328041:
Uses of mallocarray(9).

The use of mallocarray(9) has rocketed the required swap to build FreeBSD.
This is likely caused by the allocation size attributes which put extra pressure
on the compiler.

Given that most of these checks are superfluous we have to choose better
where to use mallocarray(9). We still have more uses of mallocarray(9) but
hopefully this is enough to bring swap usage to a reasonable level.

cam: make some use of mallocarray(9).

Focus on code where we are doing multiplications within malloc(9). None of
these ire likely to overflow, however the change is still useful as some
static checkers can benefit from the allocation attributes we use for
mallocarray.

This initial sweep only covers malloc(9) calls with M_NOWAIT. No good
reason but I started doing the changes before r327796 and at that time it
was convenient to make sure the sorrounding code could handle NULL values.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Rewrite CTL statistics in more simple and scalable way.

Instead of collecting statistics for each combination of ports and logical
units, that consumed ~45KB per LU with present number of ports, collect
separate statistics for every port and every logical unit separately, that
consume only 176 bytes per each single LU/port. This reduces struct
ctl_lun size down to just 6KB.

Also new IOCTL API/ABI does not hardcode number of LUs/ports, and should
allow handling of very large quantities.

Decouple limits on number of LUNs per port and LUs per CTL.

Those two values are not directly related, so make them independent.
This does not change any limits immediately, but makes number of LUNs
per port controllable via tunable/sysctl kern.cam.ctl.lun_map_size.
After this change increasing CTL_MAX_LUNS should be pretty cheap,
and even making it tunable should be easy.

Modify target port groups logic in CTL.

- Introduce "ha_shared" port option, which being set to "on" moves the
port into separate port group, shared between HA nodes. This allows to
better handle cases when iSCSI portals are bound to CARP address that can
dynamically move between nodes. Some initiators (at least VMware) don't
detect that after iSCSI reconnect they've attached to different SCSI port
from different port group, that totally breakes ALUA status parsing.
In theory, I believe, it should be enough to have different iSCSI portal
group tags on different nodes to make initiators detect this condition,
but it seems like VMware ignores those values, and even full LUN retaste
forced by UA does not help.
- Make CTL report up to three port groups: 1 -- non-HA mode or ports
with "ha_shared" option set, 2 -- HA node 1, 3 -- HA node 2.
- Report Transitioning state for all port groups when HA interlink is
connected, but neither of nodes is primary for the LUN.

Reimplement CTL High Availability.

CTL HA functionality was originally implemented by Copan many years ago,
but large part of the sources was never published. This change includes
clean room implementation of the missing code and fixes for many bugs.

This code supports dual-node HA with ALUA in four modes:
- Active/Unavailable without interlink between nodes;
- Active/Standby with second node handling only basic LUN discovery and
reservation, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with both nodes processing commands and accessing the
backing storage, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with second node working as proxy, transfering all
commands to the first node for execution through the interlink.

Unlike original Copan's implementation, depending on specific hardware,
this code uses simple custom TCP-based protocol for interlink. It has
no authentication, so it should never be enabled on public interfaces.

The code may still need some polishing, but generally it is functional.

CTL LUN mapping rewrite.

Replace iSCSI-specific LUN mapping mechanism with new one, working for any
ports. By default all ports are created without LUN mapping, exposing all
CTL LUNs as before. But, if needed, LUN mapping can be manually set on
per-port basis via ctladm. For its iSCSI ports ctld does it via ioctl(2).
The next step will be to teach ctld to work with FibreChannel ports also.

Respecting additional flexibility of the new mechanism, ctl.conf now allows
alternative syntax for LUN definition. LUNs can now be defined in global
context, and then referenced from targets by unique name, as needed. It
allows same LUN to be exposed several times via multiple targets.

While there, increase limit for LUNs per target in ctld from 256 to 1024.
Some initiators do not support LUNs above 255, but that is not our problem.

Replace home-grown CTL IO allocator with UMA.

Old allocator created significant lock congestion protecting its lists
of preallocated I/Os, while UMA provides much better SMP scalability.
The downside of UMA is lack of reliable preallocation, that could guarantee
successful allocation in non-sleepable environments. But careful code
review shown, that only CAM target frontend really has that requirement.
Fix that making that frontend preallocate and statically bind CTL I/O for
every ATIO/INOT it preallocates any way. That allows to avoid allocations
in hot I/O path. Other frontends either may sleep in allocation context
or can properly handle allocation errors.

On 40-core server with 6 ZVOL-backed LUNs and 7 iSCSI client connections
this change increases peak performance from ~700K to >1M IOPS! Yay! :)

Partially reconstruct Active/Standby clusting.

In this mode one head is in Active state, supporting all commands, while
another is in Standby state, supporting only minimal LUN discovery subset.

It is still incomplete since Standby state requires reservation support,
which is impossible to do right without having interlink between heads.
But it allows to run some basic experiments.
