Zach Brown 8ddf9b8c8c Handle disappearing fencing requests and targets
The userspace fencing process wasn't careful about handling underlying
directories that disappear while it was working.

On the server/fenced side, fencing requests can linger after they've
been resolved by writing 1 to fenced or error.  The script could come
back around to see the directory before the server finally removes it,
causing all later uses of the request dir to fail.  We saw this in the
logs as a bunch of cat errors for the various request files.

On the local fence script side, all the mounts can be in the process of
being unmounted so both the /sys/fs dirs and the mount it self can be
removed while we're working.

For both, when we're working with the /sys/fs files we read them without
logging errors and then test that the dir still exists before using what
we read.  When fencing a mount, we stop if findmnt doesn't find the
mount and then raise a umount error if the /sys/fs dir exists after
umount fails.

And while we're at it, we have each scripts logging append instead of
truncating (if, say, it's a log file instead of an interactive tty).
