[PATCH 06/23] nvmet: add context annotation for nvmet_ns::nsid

The nvmet_ns::nsid field is protected by nvmet_subsys::lock.
Annotate it with __guarded_by(&subsys->lock) to allow the Clang
context analyzer to validate accesses to this field.
The I/O hotpath also accesses nvmet_ns::nsid without holding
subsys->lock. This is safe because the namespace reference held by
the I/O request ensures that the namespace cannot be modified while
the I/O is in flight.
Since the context analyzer cannot distinguish between accesses from
the I/O hotpath and the control path, introduce nvmet_ns_nsid(),
annotated with context_unsafe, to allow the I/O hotpath to access
nvmet_ns::nsid without triggering context analyzer warnings. Use
this accessor for accesses from the I/O hotpath.
Additionally, nvmet_max_nsid() and nvmet_ns_alloc() access
nvmet_ns::nsid while holding subsys->lock. Although subsys->lock
and ns->subsys->lock refer to the same lock, the context analyzer
cannot recognize this relationship. Explicitly assert the
ns->subsys->lock capability around these accesses to avoid false
positive warnings.
Annotate nvmet_ns_changed() and nvmet_debugfs_ns_setup() with
__must_hold() to make their locking requirements explicit.
Finally, nvmet_set_feat_write_protect() calls nvmet_ns_changed()
while holding ns->subsys->lock. Since the context analyzer
cannot recognize that this is the same lock as subsys->lock,
explicitly assert the subsys->lock capability before calling
nvmet_ns_changed().
