marsadm: fix irritating "Inconsistent" display at primary side
...
At an actual primary, "Inconsistent" would be the correct description
for the state of the _disk_.
However most sysadmins will confuse this with the state of the
_replication_ (which is of course never inconsistent during
writeback from the memory buffer).
Although documented correctly, misunderstandings continue
to survive, because humans are automatically abstracting away
from detail components such as a "disk", and are automatically
assuming that "marsadm view" would relate to the replication
as a whole.
Avoid misunderstandings by more detailed message distinctions
aiming to address all of these in parallel.

light: fix becoming primary when logfiles are damaged
...
When logfile replay aborts with an error, becoming primary would be
impossible.
Without this, repair would be only possible by complete destruction
of the resource.
A previous version of this patch introduced
/proc/sys/mars/allow_primary_when_damaged which would complicate
the sysadmin interface. People would be unsure what to do.

marsadm: fix /mars security issues
...
Only relevant for non-storage servers where customers have access to.
Notice that /mars is a _reserved_ filesystem for MARS-internal purposes.
It has mothing to do with an ordinary filesystem.
Users have generally to be kept out.

Very old idiotic bug.
Under some circumstances, a byte beyond the end of a non-null-terminated
string (such as produced by the VFS) might be read, potentially leading
to a page fault just one byte after a page border.
