[PATCH] nvme: add 'fail_if_no_path' sysfs attribute

In some setups like RAID we need to return an I/O error
once all paths are unavailable to allow the upper layers
to start their own error recovery (like redirecting I/O
to other mirrors).
This patch adds a sysfs attribute 'fail_if_no_path' to
allow the admin to enable that behaviour instead of the
current 'queue until a path becomes available' policy.
