[PATCH][RFC 13/23]: Export of alloc_io_context() function

[Vladislav Bolkhovitin]

This patch exports alloc_io_context() function. For performance reasons 
SCST queues commands using a pool of IO threads. It is considerably 
better for performance (>30% increase on sequential reads) if threads in 
  a pool have the same IO context. Since SCST can be built as a module, 
it needs alloc_io_context() function exported.
