[libvirt] [PATCH] virstoragefile: identify GPFS as cluster FS

GPFS is 'IBM General Parallel File System', also called 'IBM Spectrum Scale', stalls when a process issues a lot of fsyncs in a short timeframe. It is better if the VM I/O is not synchronous. It is racommended to use writeback caching policy. In order to permit that it is added VIR_FILE_SHFS_GPFS to the list of shared file systems in virStorageFileIsClusterFS function.
