All simple function to parse --lock <mode> and $LOCK_BLOCK_DEVICE,
and to flock the fd.
The supported <mode> is:
"1" or "yes" - LOCK_EX
"0" or "no" - do nothing
"nonblock" - LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB
The function tries LOCK_NB before the solo LOCK_EX and prints
inform user that it will wait, for example:
session A:
# sfdisk --lock /dev/sdc
session B:
# sfdisk --lock /dev/sdc
sfdisk: /dev/sdc: device already locked, waiting to get lock ...
^C
# sfdisk --lock=nonblock /dev/sdc
sfdisk: /dev/sdc: device already locked

Purpose of this function is to open a path that is potentially pointing to a
block device or file without races. The function also proper open(3) flags
are used to check the device is not busy, and finally warning is been
printed if a block device happens to be misaligned.

We use the code from include/ and lib/ on many places, so use public
domain if possible or LGPL for code copied from libs.

We should have the most basic of checks in this library to see whether or not a block device is being used.

This function uses the BLKPBSZGET ioctl to get the physical block size
of the device.

This functions returns the status of the device's alignment. It will
be 0 when aligned, otherwise return the offset.

The _IO macro is defined in sys/ioccom.h on various platforms. However,
on Solaris it isn't included by ioctl.h, so include it explicitly if
available.

Due to a change in kernel behaviour when opening CDROM devices,
we need to retry the open/mount call when ENOMEDIUM is returned.
Explanation from Tejun Heo:
Okay, the difference is from the addition of cdrom_get_media_event()
call to both sr_drive_status() and ide_cdrom_drive_status().
Previously, the cdrom driver can't differentiate between tray closed
w/ no media and tray open and always returned tray open, which
triggers close and retry in the open logic which probably have delayed
things enough to get the media recognized.
Now the cdrom driver can discern between tray closed w/o media and
device not ready for other reasons and returns -ENOMEDIUM on the
former. This is all good and dandy but the problem seems that some
drives report no media right after the tray is closed but it hasn't
properly detected the media yet.
It seems the only way to work around the problem is via sensible
retries (e.g. try three times 5 secs apart) and I don't think we can
add that type of retry logic into cdrom open path. Please note that
the previous logic wasn't water proof. Some drives can take longer to
recognize the media is there and could have failed the in-kernel retry
too. Also, reading the media can take quite some time and during that
period the drive reports media present but device not ready. The
driver will retry the command (e.g. READ TOC for open) five times but
all of them can fail w/ EMEDIUMTYPE.
