[PATCH v2 02/13] nvme-multipath: add initial support for using libmultipath

Add initial support, as follows:
- Add mpath_head_template
- Add mpath_device in nvme_ns
- Add mpath_disk pointer to head structure
Initially all the functionality which mpath_head_template points to will be
unused, until the driver fully switches to libmultipath. Otherwise it's
hard to do so in a step-wise fashion without breaking functionality.
Many of the libmultipath-based function added will reference the
ns mpath_device, so add that now. Also add the NS head disk pointer for the
same reason.
