[LU-515] gpdd-survey.sh/sgpdd-survey doesn't play nice with devices specified by alias

Description

For our acceptance-small configuration we specify devices by-id instead of device name since the
device name occasionally changes. This causes a problem with sgpdd-survey.sh since sgpdd-survey
doesn't translate the alias to the device name.

It would be nice if either sgpdd-survey or sgpdd-survey.sh would translate aliases to device names.
The attached patch modifies sgpdd-survey to do a 'readlink -f' on the device name if the device
path is something like "/dev/disk/by-*" and the device path is a symbolic link (maybe this is
redundant?).

This is from Oracle bug 24487.
