[PATCH] nvme: simplify stripe quirk

Some subsystem vendors believe they own the Identify Controller vendor
specific region, and will repurpose it with their own values. Since we
can't rely on the VS byte to tell us what the stripe size is, we need to
do something for the quirk whitelist until this feature is standardized.

The field was originally concepted to allow back end flexibility on
its striping, but it turned out that never materialized; the chunk is
always the same as MDTS in the products subscribing to this quirk, and
it always will be that way. So, this patch removes the stripe_size field,
and sets the chunk to the max hw transfer size for quirked devices.

For blk-mq, this addresses some performance anomolies. The more serious
problem, though, is for the pre-blk-mq driver, and I'll need to port
to stable. In some cases, the circular shifting can get a stripe size
that's smaller than a block, and that causes memory corruption.
