Milan Broz 499d2d2f4c sed-opal: Add STACK_RESET command
The TCG Opal device could enter a state where no new session can be
created, blocking even Discovery or PSID reset. While a power cycle
or waiting for the timeout should work, there is another possibility
for recovery: using the Stack Reset command.

The Stack Reset command is defined in the TCG Storage Architecture Core
Specification and is mandatory for all Opal devices (see Section 3.3.6
of the Opal SSC specification).

This patch implements the Stack Reset command. Sending it should clear
all active sessions immediately, allowing subsequent commands to run
successfully. While it is a TCG transport layer command, the Linux
kernel implements only Opal ioctls, so it makes sense to use the
IOC_OPAL ioctl interface.

The Stack Reset takes no arguments; the response can be success or pending.
If the command reports a pending state, userspace can try to repeat it;
in this case, the code returns -EBUSY.
