[lustre-devel] [PATCH 19/28] lustre: obd_sysfs: error-check value stored in jobid_var

[NeilBrown]

The jobid_var sysfs attribute only has 3 meaningful values.
Other values cause lustre_get_jobid() to return an error
which is uniformly ignored.

To improve usability and resilience, check that the value
written is acceptable before storing it.
