[PATCH 1/1] nvme : Add sysfs entry for NVMe CMBs when appropriate

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for reviving the CMB discussions. Everything seems reasonable to
me, but I must question if we want a 'show' without a 'control'.
Consider if the 'control' ends up requiring an API that supercedes the
'show' in a more natural way.
Otherwise I'm for this.

Small nit: we have this value cached in dev->cmbsz. So unless something
has changed in the configuration, we could use that instead.
