Instead of using a flag bit for exclusive operation, use a variable to
store which exclusive operation is being performed.  Introduce an API
to start and finish an exclusive operation.

This would enable another way for tools to check which operation is
running on why starting an exclusive operation failed. The followup
patch adds a sysfs_notify() to alert userspace when the state changes, so
userspace can perform select() on it to get notified of the change.

This would enable us to enqueue a command which will wait for current
exclusive operation to complete before issuing the next exclusive
operation. This has been done synchronously as opposed to a background
process, or else error collection (if any) will become difficult.
