nvmet: implement the FDP feature

This commit implements Set Features and Get Features for the Flexible Data
Placement feature (FID 1Dh) in nvmet, using the Endurance Group Identifier
to look up the corresponding namespace. It also advertises NVME_FEAT_FDP in
the Supported Features log page.

[Severity: Medium]
Should nvmet_execute_get_log_page_features() check
nvmet_fdp_subsys_configured(nvmet_req_subsys(req)) here instead of
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NVME_TARGET_FDP)?

The commit message notes that this feature is reported in the Features log
page under the same per-subsystem condition as the FDPS bit. In
nvmet_execute_identify_ctrl(), NVME_CTRL_ATTR_FDPS is gated on:

	if (nvmet_fdp_subsys_configured(ctrl->subsys))
		ctratt |= NVME_CTRL_ATTR_FDPS;

Checking only IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NVME_TARGET_FDP) causes the log page to
advertise NVME_FEAT_FDP on subsystems that have no FDP-enabled namespaces
and report FDPS as 0.

>  	kfree(features);

[Severity: Critical]
Can nvmet_fdp_lookup_ns() cause a use-after-free on struct nvmet_ns or
ns->ref when a Set Features or Get Features command for NVME_FEAT_FDP races
with namespace disable or removal via nvmet_ns_disable() or
nvmet_ns_free()?

In drivers/nvme/target/core.c, nvmet_ns_disable() tears down the namespace
before clearing ns->enabled:

	if (!test_and_clear_bit(NVMET_NS_IO_LIVE, &ns->flags))
		return;
	...
	percpu_ref_kill(&ns->ref);
	synchronize_rcu();
	wait_for_completion(&ns->disable_done);
	percpu_ref_exit(&ns->ref);

	if (ns->pr.enable)
		nvmet_pr_exit_ns(ns);

	nvmet_fdp_exit_ns(ns);

	mutex_lock(&subsys->lock);
	nvmet_ns_changed(subsys, ns->nsid);
	nvmet_ns_dev_disable(ns);
	ns->enabled = false;
	mutex_unlock(&subsys->lock);

And nvmet_ns_free() then erases and frees ns without an additional RCU
grace period:

	nvmet_ns_disable(ns);

	mutex_lock(&subsys->lock);

	xa_erase(&subsys->namespaces, ns->nsid);
	...
	kfree(ns->device_path);
	kfree(ns);

Because xa_load() releases its internal RCU read lock before returning,
nvmet_fdp_lookup_ns() holds an unpinned pointer to ns outside of an
rcu_read_lock() critical section. A concurrent nvmet_ns_free() is not
blocked by synchronize_rcu() in nvmet_ns_disable() and can free ns before
nvmet_fdp_lookup_ns() dereferences ns->enabled, ns->fdp.enable, or
&ns->ref.

Additionally, because ns->enabled remains true until after
percpu_ref_exit(&ns->ref) has freed the per-CPU counter data, checking
ns->enabled instead of test_bit(NVMET_NS_IO_LIVE, &ns->flags) allows
nvmet_fdp_lookup_ns() to call percpu_ref_tryget_live(&ns->ref) concurrently
with or after percpu_ref_exit(&ns->ref).

Should nvmet_fdp_lookup_ns() wrap the lookup and reference acquisition in
rcu_read_lock() / rcu_read_unlock(), check test_bit(NVMET_NS_IO_LIVE,
&ns->flags), and use percpu_ref_tryget_live_rcu(&ns->ref) in the same way
as nvmet_req_find_ns()?
