[PATCH 22/24] scsi: sd: add mpath_dev file

Add a mpath_dev file so that the multipath disk can be looked up from
per-path gendisk directory.

The following is an example of this usage:

$ ls -l /dev/sdc
brw-rw----    1 root     disk        8,  32 Feb 24 16:08 /dev/sdc
$ cat /sys/class/scsi_mpath_disk/0/sdc/multipath/sdc:0/mpath_dev
8:32

This can be used by a util like lsscsi, which would find that the gendisk
for the per-path scsi_device is missing.
