dm verity: add error handling modes for corrupted blocks

Browse source 
Add device specific modes to dm-verity to specify how corrupted
blocks should be handled.  The following modes are defined:

  - DM_VERITY_MODE_EIO is the default behavior, where reading a
    corrupted block results in -EIO.

  - DM_VERITY_MODE_LOGGING only logs corrupted blocks, but does
    not block the read.

  - DM_VERITY_MODE_RESTART calls kernel_restart when a corrupted
    block is discovered.

In addition, each mode sends a uevent to notify userspace of
corruption and to allow further recovery actions.

The driver defaults to previous behavior (DM_VERITY_MODE_EIO)
and other modes can be enabled with an additional parameter to
the verity table.

<#opt_params>
Number of optional parameters. If there are no optional parameters,
the optional paramaters section can be skipped or #opt_params can be zero.
Otherwise #opt_params is the number of following arguments.
Example of optional parameters section:
1 ignore_corruption
ignore_corruption
Log corrupted blocks, but allow read operations to proceed normally.
restart_on_corruption
Restart the system when a corrupted block is discovered. This option is
not compatible with ignore_corruption and requires user space support to
avoid restart loops.
