Atsushi Kawai a3256416ce Hitachi: Add port scheduler
This patch add a feature "Port Scheduler" for the Hitachi VSP Driver.
On Hitachi VSP storage, host groups are created and the same WWNs are
registered in all of the ports that are specified for the parameter
hitachi_compute_target_ports or for the parameter hitachi_target_ports.
For Hitachi storage devices, a maximum of 255 host groups and 255 WWNs
can be registered for one port. When volumes are attached, the upper
limit on the number of WWNs that can be registered might be
unexpectedly exceeded.

For the feature "Port scheduler", when the cinder-volume service
starts, the Fibre Channel Zone Manager obtains the WWNs of active
compute nodes and of active VMs. When volumes are attached, the WWNs
are registered in a round-robin procedure, in the same order as the
order of ports specified for the parameter hitachi_compute_target_ports
or for the parameter hitachi_target_ports.

Hitachi driver: Add a feature ``Port Scheduler``. This feature is enabled
when specifying ``True`` for the parameter ``hitachi_port_scheduler``.
When this feature is enabled and an attach request is received, the active
WWNs that are obtained by Fibre Channel Zone Manager will be distributed
and registered to the host groups of each port of the storage system.
To use this feature, specify ``True`` for both parameters
``hitachi_group_request`` and ``hitachi_rest_name_only_discovery``.
If you specify ``False`` or use default value for the
``hitachi_rest_name_only_discovery``, it will take a long time to attach
volume, by seeking the host group for all specified ports.
This feature is supported on Fibre Channel only.
