[PATCH 8/9] nvme: implement multipath access to nvme subsystems

[Tony Yang]

Hi, All

     Because my environment requirements, the kernel must use 4.8.17,
I would like to ask, how to use the kernel 4.8.17 nvme multi-path?
Because I see support for multi-path versions are above 4.13

Expect everyone's help, thank you very much
