Subject: retrying enabling FILEIO target
Reference: bsc#940636

When trying to enable a newly create target in
sysfs, if we are too fast, the target might not
yet be fully set, since the time between creating
the target (with a mkdir in sysfs) and the time
when the target is fully set up is indetermanent.

This patch enables 3 retries, at one second each,
when trying to enable a target.
