[PATCH] vfs_glusterfs: Enable per client log file

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Richard pointed out that I probably misinterpreted Andrew's comment, and
that the "connect method" refers to the VFS Connect method.

Ooopz.

If Richard's interpretation is correct, then we still have a situation in
which the userID being passed via the tree connect is the "primary" for
accessing the share.  It may not be the most useful piece of information for
forming log file names, but at least it'll be consistent for the share
connection.

...but the point of Poornima's patch is to allow a separate log file per
client, so that we don't have all of the logs generated from the Gluster VFS
module in one big file (as is now the case).  The latest iteration of the
patch *should* use functions from substitute.c to translate all variables,
not just %M, so that the user can decide how to form the log file name.
