[PATCH 2/2] nvme: add context annotation for nvme_ns_head::nr_openers

nvme_ns_head::nr_openers is protected by nvme_subsystem::lock. Annotate
it with __guarded_by(&subsys->lock) so that Clang's context analyzer can
validate that all accesses to nvme_ns_head::nr_openers are protected by
nvme_subsystem::lock.
Clang's context analyzer cannot currently model the same lock when it
is accessed through different object paths. Explicitly add the
capability in nvme_init_ns_head() using
__assume_ctx_lock(&head->subsys->lock) to avoid a false positive, as
ctrl->subsys->lock and head->subsys->lock refer to the same lock.
Similarly, in nvme_ns_remove(), replace ns->ctrl->subsys->lock with
ns->head->subsys->lock so that the lock expression matches the
capability used by the __guarded_by() annotation and avoids a false
positive from the context analyzer.
