dataplane: refuse to start if device is already in use
Dataplane must check whether a block device is in use before launching the dataplane thread. This is necessary since the thread does not synchronize with the main loop and I/O requests could cause corruption. One example is when a drive is added and a block job is started before hotplugging the virtio-blk-pci adapter. In this case we must not use dataplane mode.
