Allow CSI driver for Flashsystem to define PortSet


The client is using FS9500 to automatically provision Block Storage to BareMetal Openshift servers through the IBM CSI Driver.
As a shared infrastructure the client has deployed separated private network for each OCP cluster with Portsets.
Today the CSI driver is only capable of defining hosts in the portset0.
As the infrastructure is pretty stable, the client has manually changed all host definition to the right Porset. He was not happy with that but it worked...
With an upgrade of its Openshift cluster, he discovered that the hosts has automatically been removed and redeployed on Portset0, stopping the production...
The bypass with a manual setup is finally not acceptable.
To keep the Flashsystem relevant in the context o Openshift,  The CSI driver must be upgraded to support the  Portsets.
