Summary
This change adds support for multi-node block attach (RWX for block volumes) in the CSI driver, enabling compatibility with KubeVirt live migration.
Problem
The CSI driver did not support creating volumes for live migration scenarios that require multi-node block attach. As a result, those volumes could not be provisioned with the needed access mode.
Solution
Add support for MULTI_NODE_MULTI_WRITER for block volumes, and update controller and node validation to allow that access mode while continuing to reject it for mount volumes.
Testing
Notes
Tested on OpenShift with KubeVirt using Dell ME5 storage backend.
MULTI_NODE_MULTI_WRITER is restricted to block volumes to align with CSI expectations and avoid unsafe shared filesystem usage.
