    Storwize/SVC: Fix races in host-related functions

    In the Storwize/SVC driver, initialize_connection checks if a host
    object exists on the storage, and if not, creates one. Similarly,
    terminate_connection checks if there are any more mappings for this
    host, and deletes the host object if there are none. Consequently, there
    exist races between two initialize_connection calls, two
    terminate_connection calls, or one and one.

    The easy solution here is to use locks. Because locks are files on the
    local machine, this implies that all cinder-volume processes managing a
    given Storwize/SVC contoller run on the same machine.
