Documentation/ABI/rnbd-clt: session name is appended to the device path

When mapping a device,
/sys/devices/virtual/rnbd-client/ctl/devices/<device_id> was created.
But we found out that it had a problem when mapping the same file
on different servers. So we append the session name after the
device_id as below.
/sys/devices/virtual/rnbd-client/ctl/devices/<device_id>@<session_name>

After mapping, the device file can be found by:
o The symlink /sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices/<device_id>
o The symlink /sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices/<device_id>@<session_name>
points to /sys/block/<dev-name>. The last part of the symlink destination
is the same as the device name. By extracting the last part of the
path the path to the device /dev/<dev-name> can be build.

* /dev/block/$(cat /sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices/<device_id>@<session_name>/dev)
How to find the <device_id> of the device is described on the next
section.

Description: For each device mapped on the client a new symbolic link is created as
/sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices/<device_id>, which points
/sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices/<device_id>@<session_name>, which points
to the block device created by rnbd (/sys/block/rnbd<N>/).
The <device_id> of each device is created as follows:
