Please don't do a remove of the directory, just remove the files
created from this patch (/etc/nvme/hostnqn).  As I mentioned earlier,
someone for example could have independently created a discovery.conf
file in /etc/nvme and might have not wanted that file removed when this
is uninstalled.  If the directory was created from this patch then
either leave the directory /etc/nvme behind or test to see if /etc/nvme
is empty after removing /etc/nvme/hostnqn before attempting to remove
the directory /etc/nvme.
