[PATCH] nvme: Fix block device naming collision

The issue exists when multipath is enabled and the namespace is
shared, but all the other controller checks at nvme_is_unique_nsid()
are false. The reason for this issue is that nvme_is_unique_nsid()
returns false when is called from nvme_mpath_alloc_disk() due to an
uninitialized value of head->shared. The patch fixes it by setting
head->shared before nvme_mpath_alloc_disk() is called.

Fixes: 5974ea7ce0f9 ("nvme: allow duplicate NSIDs for private namespaces")
