[PATCH v4] drivers/nvme: Add support for ACPI StorageD3Enable property

This patch implements a solution for a BIOS hack used on some currently
shipping Intel systems to change driver power management policy for PCIe
NVMe drives. Some newer Intel platforms, like some Comet Lake systems,
require that PCIe devices use D3 when doing suspend-to-idle in order to
allow the platform to realize maximum power savings. This is particularly
needed to support ATX power supply shutdown on desktop systems. In order to
ensure this happens for root ports with storage devices, Microsoft
apparently created this ACPI _DSD property as a way to influence their
driver policy. To my knowledge this property has not been discussed with
the NVME specification body.

Though the solution is not ideal, it addresses a problem that also affects
Linux since the NVMe driver's default policy of using NVMe APST during
suspend-to-idle prevents the PCI root port from going to D3 and leads to
higher power consumption for these platforms. The power consumption
difference may be negligible on laptop systems, but many watts on desktop
systems when the ATX power supply is blocked from powering down.

The patch creates a new nvme_acpi_storage_d3 function to check for the
StorageD3Enable property during probe and enables D3 as a quirk if set.  It
also provides a 'noacpi' module parameter to allow skipping the quirk if
needed.

Tested on:
PM961 NVMe SED Samsung 512GB
INTEL SSDPEKKF512G8

Changes from V3:
 	- Use pcie_find_root_port() instead of pci_find_pcie_root_port(),
 	  changed in 5.8.
 	- Remove "Cc:" emails that ended up at top of V3 commit message.
 	- Fix changelog numbering.
 
Changes from V2:
	- Remove check for "not yet bound" ACPI companion device since
	  this will not be a concern at driver probe time per Rafael.
	- Move storage_d3 function out of PCI core and into NVMe driver
	  since there's nothing the PCI core can do with this code as
	  noted by Bjorn.
 
Changes from V1:
	- Export the pci_acpi_storage_d3 function for use by drivers as
	  needed instead of modifying the pci header.
	- Add missing put on acpi device handle.
	- Add 'noacpi' module parameter to allow undoing this change.
	- Add info message that this is a platform quirk.
