tools: add a dm-logwrites replay tool

Trying to decipher a dm-logwrites replay failure from generic/482 is
difficult. The test destroys all the dm state and devices when the
test fails, leaving nothing behind for post-mortem analysis. This
script is intended to allow replay of the dm-logwrites device one
FUA at a time similar to generic/482, and is used in conjunction
with a modifed g/482 test that does not tear down the dm volumes
or state when the test fails.

This allows the developer to replay the logwrites up to just prior
to failure to examine just the differences between the last good
state and the first failure state, greatly reducing the complexity
of analysing failures.

Instructions for use are in the tools/dm-logwrite-replay script
itself.

+# dm-logwrite-replay utility.
+#
+# This is used to replay failures that result from generic/482. Modify the
+# cleanup function in g/482 to the version that does not tear down the dm-thin
+# volume and grab the thin volume name from the the 482.full output file.  Then
+# you can replay the log writes manually with this tool so that the changes
+# between a good replay and a bad replay can be isolated. The 482.full output
+# file has all the FUA write locations recorded - these are what you pass the
+# tool as "PREV_FUA" and "END_FUA".
+#
+# The tool uses the fstests infrastructure and scripts, so it needs to be run
+# from the base fstests directory similar to the check script. RESULT_DIR is
+# pointed at the current directory, which means that debug output from the tool
+# placed in $seqres.full points ends up in ./dm-logwrite-replay.full.
+#
+# For example:
+#      - device name /dev/mapper/thin-vol
+#      - last good replay @ write 124
+#      - first bad replay @ write 125
+#
+# Replay from start to 124:
+#
+# cd src/fstests
+# tools/dm-logwrite-replay --dev /dev/mapper/thin-vol --end 124
+# <take image of filesystem /dev/mapper/thin-vol>
+#
+# Replay from 124 to 125:
+#
+# tools/dm-logwrite-replay --dev /dev/mapper/thin-vol --start 124 --end 125
+# <take image of filesystem from /dev/mapper/thin-vol>
+#
+# Now compare images of the filesystem to see the differences and analyse the
+# failure.
+#
+# Often with log recovery failures, you need to see the pre-recovery state of
+# the filesystem. To do this, use the --no-recovery option in conjunction with
+# the above commands.  This allows you to determine if recovery is doing the
+# wrong thing or not.
+#
+# Once finished, teardown the logwrites/thin vol with
+#
+# tools/dm-logwrite-replay --dev /dev/mapper/thin-vol --cleanup
