Jack Ding 728f20e8f4 Add I/O Semaphore to limit concurrent disk ops
Introduce an I/O semaphore to limit the number of concurrent
disk-IO-intensive operations. This could reduce disk contention from
image operations like image download, image format conversion, snapshot
extraction, etc.

The new config option max_concurrent_disk_ops can be set in nova.conf
per compute host and would be virt-driver-agnostic. It is default to 0
which means no limit.

Introduced a new config option ``[compute]/max_concurrent_disk_ops`` to
reduce disk contention by specifying the maximum number of concurrent
disk-IO-intensive operations per compute service. This would include
operations such as image download, image format conversion, snapshot
extraction, etc.
The default value is 0, which means that there is no limit.
