[PATCH 0/3] block: sed-opal: add support for shadow MBR done flag and write

From: David Kozub

This patch series extends SED Opal support: it adds IOCTL for setting the shadow
MBR done flag which can be useful for unlocking an Opal disk on boot and it adds
IOCTL for writing to the shadow MBR.

The code has been already submitted in [1] but it was suggested to split this
part off. In comparison to that version, I tried to apply Scott's suggestions
from [2].

This series requires the previously-submitted Opal cleanup patches[3]. It
applies on current linux-next/master (e.g. next-20190430).

I successfully tested toggling the MBR done flag and writing the shadow MBR
using some tools I hacked together[4] with a Samsung SSD 850 EVO drive.
