[PATCH v3 07/18] nvme: add context annotations for nvme_subsystem::lock

Several helpers access or traverse data structures protected by
nvme_subsystem::lock and therefore require callers to hold the lock.
Annotate nvme_mpath_unfreeze(), nvme_mpath_wait_freeze(),
nvme_mpath_start_freeze(), nvme_find_ns_head(), nvme_alloc_ns_head()
and nvme_subsys_check_duplicate_ids() with __must_hold(&subsys->lock)
so that Clang's lock context analysis can validate the locking
requirements at compile time.
Also annotate nvme_subsystem::nsheads and
nvme_ns_head::delayed_removal_secs with __guarded_by(&subsys->lock),
as both are protected by the subsystem lock.
Wrap the initialization of nvme_subsystem::nsheads with
context_unsafe(...) to suppress the context analysis warning emitted
for INIT_LIST_HEAD() during object initialization.
nvme_ns_head is allocated with kzalloc(), so explicitly initializing
nvme_ns_head::delayed_removal_secs to 0 in nvme_mpath_alloc_disk() is
redundant. Remove the redundant initialization, which also avoids a
false positive from Clang's context analysis.
