[PATCHv2] nvme: add 'iopolicy' module parameter

[Hannes Reinecke]

While the 'iopolicy' sysfs attribute can be set at runtime, most
storage arrays prefer to use the 'round-robin' iopolicy per default.
We can use udev rules to set this, but is getting rather unwieldy
for rebranded arrays as we would have to update the udev rules
anytime a new array shows up, leading to the same mess we currently
have in multipathd for configuring the RDAC arrays.

Hence this patch adds a module parameter 'iopolicy' to allow the
admin to switch the default, and to do away with the need for a
udev rule here.
