Since a loop device is backed by a file, a backup will already result in
its parent filesystem being frozen. It's sufficient to just freeze the
parent filesystem, so we can skip the loop device.
This avoids a situation where a loop device and its parent filesystem are
both frozen and then thawed out of order. For example, if the loop device
is enumerated first, we would thaw it while its parent filesystem is still
frozen. The thaw operation fails and the loop device remains frozen.

If a FREEZE operation takes too long, the driver may time out and move on
to another operation. The daemon is unaware of this and attempts to
notify the driver that the FREEZE succeeded. This results in an error from
the driver and the daemon leaves the filesystem in frozen state.
Fix this by thawing the filesystem and continuing.

Hyper-V host will send a VSS_OP_HOT_BACKUP request to check if guest is
ready for a live backup/snapshot. The driver should respond to the check
only if the daemon is running and listening to requests. This allows the
host to fallback to standard snapshots in case the VSS daemon is not
running.

When ioctl(fd, FIFREEZE, 0) results in an error we cannot report it
to syslog instantly since that can cause write to a frozen disk.
However, the name of the filesystem which caused the error and errno
are valuable and we would like to get a nice human-readable message
in the log. Save errno before calling vss_operate(VSS_OP_THAW) and
report the error right after.
Unfortunately, FITHAW errors cannot be reported the same way as we
need to finish thawing all filesystems before calling syslog().
We should also avoid calling endmntent() for the second time in
case we encountered an error during freezing of '/' as it usually
results in SEGSEGV.

All tools/hv daemons do mandatory daemon() on startup. However, no pidfile
is created, this make it difficult for an init system to track such daemons.
Modern linux distros use systemd as their init system. It can handle the
daemonizing by itself, however, it requires a daemon to stay in foreground
for that. Some distros already carry distro-specific patch for hv tools
which switches off daemon().
Introduce -n/--no-daemon option for all 3 daemons in hv/tools. Parse options
with getopt() to make this part easily expandable.

netlink_send is supposed to send just the cn_msg+hv_kvp_msg via netlink.
Currently it sets an incorrect iovec size, as reported by valgrind.
In the case of registering with the kernel the allocated buffer is large
enough to hold nlmsghdr+cn_msg+hv_kvp_msg, no overrun happens. In the
case of responding to the kernel the cn_msg is located in the middle of
recv_buffer, after the nlmsghdr. Currently the code in netlink_send adds
also the size of nlmsghdr to the payload. But nlmsghdr is a separate
iovec. This leads to an (harmless) out-of-bounds access when the kernel
processes the iovec. Correct the iovec size of the cn_msg to be just
cn_msg + its payload.

nlmsghdr, although only the recv_buffer needs this extra space.

This driver supports host initiated backup of the guest. On Windows guests,
the host can generate application consistent backups using the Windows VSS
framework. On Linux, we ensure that the backup will be file system consistent.
This driver allows the host to initiate a "Freeze" operation on all the mounted
file systems in the guest. Once the mounted file systems in the guest are frozen,
the host snapshots the guest's file systems. Once this is done, the guest's file
systems are "thawed".
This driver has a user-level component (daemon) that invokes the appropriate
operation on all the mounted file systems in response to the requests from
the host. The duration for which the guest is frozen is very short - a few seconds.
During this interval, the diff disk is comitted.
In this version of the patch I have addressed the feedback from Olaf Herring.
Also, some of the connector related issues have been fixed.
