[libvirt] [PATCH v2] sanlock: Retry after EINPROGRESS

It may take some time for sanlock to add a lockspace. And if user
restart libvirtd service meanwhile, the fresh daemon can fail adding
the same lockspace with EINPROGRESS. Recent sanlock has
sanlock_inq_lockspace() function which should block until lockspace
changes state. If we are building against older sanlock we should
retry a few times before claiming an error. This issue can be easily
reproduced:

for i in {1..1000} ; do echo $i; service libvirtd restart; sleep 2; done

-after IRC discussion with sanlock devel I've found this API
 so whe ought use it whenever possible.
