[SCSI] hpsa: export resettable host attribute

This attribute, requested by Redhat, allows kexec-tools to know
whether the controller can honor the reset_devices kernel parameter
and actually reset the controller. For kdump to work properly it
is necessary that the reset_devices parameter be honored. This
attribute enables kexec-tools to warn the user if they attempt to
designate a non-resettable controller as the dump device.

If the 71 + device is resettable, this file will contain a "1", otherwise, a "0". This 72 + parameter is used by kdump, for example, to reset the controller at driver 73 + load time to eliminate any outstanding commands on the controller and get the 74 + controller into a known state so that the kdump initiated i/o will work right 75 + and not be disrupted in any way by stale commands or other stale state 76 + remaining on the controller from the previous kernel.
