[PATCH v2 00/13] nvme: switch to libmultipath

[John Garry]

This switches the NVMe host driver to use libmultipath. That library
is very heavily based on the NVMe multipath code, so the change over
should hopefully be straightforward. There is often a direct replacement
for functions.

The multipath functionality in nvme_ns_head and nvme_ns structures are
replaced with the mpath_head and mpath_device structures.

It's hard to switch to libmulipath in a step-by-step fashion without
breaking builds or functionality. To make the series reviewable, I took
the approach of adding libmultipath-based code, which would initially be
unused, and then finally making the full switch.

I think that more testing is required here and any help on that would be
appreciated.

The series is based on 8658b6054439 (nvme/nvme-7.1) nvme-auth: Include
SC_C in RVAL controller hash

Differences to v1 (apart from porting changes for v2 libmultipath):
- always depend on LIBMULTIAPTH and drop nvme_ns_head.ns_count
- add nvme_add_ns() and nvme_delete_ns()
- init .drv_module (Nilay)
- condense code
