[PATCH v2 3/3] nvme: Enable autonomous power state transitions

NVME devices can advertise multiple power states. These states can
be either "operational" (the device is fully functional but possibly
slow) or "non-operational" (the device is asleep until woken up).
Some devices can automatically enter a non-operational state when
idle for a specified amount of time and then automatically wake back
up when needed.
The hardware configuration is a table. For each state, an entry in
the table indicates the next deeper non-operational state, if any,
to autonomously transition to and the idle time required before
transitioning.
This patch teaches the driver to program APST so that each
successive non-operational state will be entered after an idle time
equal to 100% of the total latency (entry plus exit) associated with
that state. A sysfs attribute 'apst_max_latency_us' gives the
maximum acceptable latency in ns; non-operational states with total
latency greater than this value will not be used. As a special
case, apst_max_latency_us=0 will disable APST entirely.
On hardware without APST support, apst_max_latency_us will not be
exposed in sysfs.
In theory, the device can expose "default" APST table, but this
doesn't seem to function correctly on my device (Samsung 950), nor
does it seem particularly useful. There is also an optional
mechanism by which a configuration can be "saved" so it will be
automatically loaded on reset. This can be configured from
userspace, but it doesn't seem useful to support in the driver.
On my laptop, enabling APST seems to save nearly 1W.
The hardware tables can be decoded in userspace with nvme-cli.
'nvme id-ctrl /dev/nvmeN' will show the power state table and
'nvme get-feature -f 0x0c -H /dev/nvme0' will show the current APST
configuration.
