When the first test, whether the current event subject represents the
re-IPL target failed, we attempt a second test, using the recorded WWID
of a previously successful attempt.
The new helper `chreipl-fcp-mpath-is-ipl-vol` utilizes the information
previously stored in the ID-file (read under lock via `flock`).
The recorded WWID is compared with the one of the event subject; if it
matches we know that it addresses the same volume, and might be used as
alternative re-IPL target.
Additionally we also compare the current re-IPL triplet with the one
recorded in the ID-file. If it doesn't match anymore, we assume the
recorded WWID is stale - e.g., because the operator changed the re-IPL
target manually - and the previous check invalid.
If both the WWID match, and the re-IPL triplet is still the same as
previously recorded, the toolset may continue with the subject, and use
it as replacement for the current re-IPL target.
