[PATCH v1 0/7] Centrelize common fabrics code to core drivers

[Max Gurtovoy]

Hi Christoph, Sagi, Keith and Co,
This series is intended to move common reconnection, device removal and
error recovery logic to common fabrics and core drivers. In this stage,
it mainly deals with the RDMA and TCP drivers which had the same logic
for the above tasks. FC driver can start using this framework in the
future after some preparation work that should be done.

This will ease on code maintenance and reduce the code duplication
between the RDMA and TCP drivers.

Since there are some attributes that were moved to generic nvme_ctrl
structure, I've measured perf impact.

 32KB          320k/322k                  305k/305k
 64KB          157k/157k                  151k/151k

As we can see, there is no impact on the performance.
