target: Skip non hex characters for VPD=0x83 NAA IEEE Registered Extended

This patch adds target_parse_naa_6h_vendor_specific() to address a bug where the
conversion of PRODUCT SERIAL NUMBER to use hex2bin() in target_emulate_evpd_83()
was not doing proper isxdigit() checking.  This conversion of the vpd_unit_serial
configifs attribute is done while generating a VPD=0x83 NAA IEEE Registered
Extended DESIGNATOR format's 100 bits of unique VENDOR SPECIFIC IDENTIFIER +
VENDOR SPECIFIC IDENTIFIER EXTENSION area.

This patch allows vpd_unit_serial (VPD=0x80) and the T10 Vendor ID DESIGNATOR
format (VPD=0x83) to continue to use free-form variable length ASCII values,
and now skips any non hex characters for fixed length NAA IEEE Registered Extended
DESIGNATOR format (VPD=0x83) requring the binary conversion.

This was originally reported by Martin after the v3.1-rc1 change to use hex2bin()
in commit 11650b859681e03fdbf26277fcfc5f1f62186703 where the use of non hex
characters in vpd_unit_serial generated different values than the original
v3.0 internal hex -> binary code.  This v3.1 change caused a problem with
filesystems who write a NAA DESIGNATOR onto it's ondisk metadata, and this patch
will (again) change existing values to ensure that non hex characters are not
included in the fixed length NAA DESIGNATOR.

Note this patch still expects vpd_unit_serial to be set via existing userspace
methods of uuid generation, and does not do strict formatting via configfs input.

(v2: Fix parsing code to dereference + check for string terminator instead
     of null pointer to ensure a zeroed payload for vpd_unit_serial less
     than 100 bits of NAA DESIGNATOR VENDOR SPECIFIC area.  Also, remove
     the unnecessary bitwise assignment)
