SCSI-based device get their identify properties being printed when initialized like :

[    1.245357] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access     ATA      HGST HTE721010A9 A3M0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5

When initializing nvme devices, no identification message is reported
making difficult to identify them during the boot process. If the system
crashes during boot process or if the init phase fail, it could be very diffcult
to identify the faulty disk.

This patch reports model, serial, firmware version and pci information
as soon as possible making this early identifying task possible.

Reporting the serial has the interest of being able to ensure which
physical drive is concerned if a hardware replacement is required and
host features the exact same drive multiple times.

A typical output looks like:
[    0.383353] nvme nvme0: pci function 0000:00:03.0
[    0.418184] nvme nvme0: MODEL:QEMU NVMe Ctrl                          SN:deadbeef            FW:1.0     PCI_ID:1b36:1af4
[    0.422020] nvme nvme0: 1/0/0 default/read/poll queues
