[PATCH 0/5] nvmet/nvmet_fc: add events for discovery controller rescan

[James Smart]

A transport may have a transport-specific mechanism that can signal
when discovery controller content has changed and request a host
to reconnect to the discovery controller.

FC is such a transport. RSCNs may be generated by the FC port with
the discovery server, with the RSCNs then broadcast to the FC-NVME
hosts. A host, upon receiving the RSCN, would validate connectivity
then initiate a discovery controller rescan, allowing new subsystems
to be connected to or updating subsystem connectivity tables.

These patches:
- Modify the nvmet core layer to call a transport callback on every
  subsystem add or remove from a transport port.
- Modify the nvmet-fc transport to support the callback, and add its
  own internal lldd api to generate RSCN's via the lldd.
- Modify the lpfc driver to send/receive RSCNs for FC-NVME: transmit
  the changed attribute RSCN on the target, receiving the RSCN on
  the initiator and invoking the nvmet-fc transport rescan api.
  Also adds manual sysfs mechanism to generate the RSCN on the target.
