[RFC PATCH] nvme: replace lazy sgl warn with informational message

From: Keith Busch <kbusch at kernel.org>

Instead of warning about the device's SGL capabilities the first time we
consider using them with a passthrough command, print out what the
device is capable of during initialization. While we're at it, print
other interesting capabilities that may be useful to know when you just
have a dmesg. The ouput format was inspired by other existing subsystems
like pci.

And example of the new message when used with a default qemu nvme
emulated device:

  nvme nvme0: sgl+ meta-sgl+ sed- vwc+ apst- dsm+ wz+
