I didn't find anything wrong with the Max's patch and more importantly
blktests are still passing on my setup where it has required files, but
Yi doesn't have those file as stated above :-

nvme (nvme-6.5) # ls -l /etc/nvme/
total 12
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 183 Jan 23 23:58 discovery.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  37 Mar 16  2022 hostid
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  12 Mar 17  2022 hostnqn
nvme (nvme-6.5) #

Let's not revert Max's patch and fix the blktests.
