This reverts commit e9a48034d7d1318ece7d4a235838a86c94db9d68.
The slaves and holders link for the hidden gendisks confuse lsblk so that
it errors out on, or doesn't report the nvme multipath devices. Given
that we don't need holder relationships for something that can't even be
directly accessed we should just stop creating those links.

If multipathing is enabled, each NVMe subsystem creates a head
namespace (e.g., nvme0n1) and multiple private namespaces
(e.g., nvme0c0n1 and nvme0c1n1) in sysfs. When creating links for
private namespaces, links of head namespace are used, so the
namespace creation order must be followed (e.g., nvme0n1 ->
nvme0c1n1). If the order is not followed, links of sysfs will be
incomplete or kernel panic will occur.
The kernel panic was:
kernel BUG at fs/sysfs/symlink.c:27!

The nvme_mpath_add_disk (for creating head namespace) is called
just before the nvme_mpath_add_disk_links (for creating private
namespaces). In nvme_mpath_add_disk, the first context acquires
the lock of subsystem and creates a head namespace, and other
contexts do nothing by checking GENHD_FL_UP of a head namespace
after waiting to acquire the lock. We verified the code with or
without multipathing using three vendors of dual-port NVMe SSDs.

This removes nvme multipath's specific status decoding to see if failover
is needed, using the generic blk_status_t that was decoded earlier. This
abstraction from the raw NVMe status means all status decoding exists
in one place.

When creating nvme multipath devices we should populate the 'slaves' and
'holders' directorys properly to aid userspace topology detection.

We do this by adding a helper that returns the ns_head for a device that
can belong to either the per-controller or per-subsystem block device
nodes, and otherwise reuse all the existing code.

This patch adds native multipath support to the nvme driver. For each
namespace we create only single block device node, which can be used
to access that namespace through any of the controllers that refer to it.
The gendisk for each controllers path to the name space still exists
inside the kernel, but is hidden from userspace. The character device
nodes are still available on a per-controller basis. A new link from
the sysfs directory for the subsystem allows to find all controllers
for a given subsystem.
Currently we will always send I/O to the first available path, this will
be changed once the NVMe Asynchronous Namespace Access (ANA) TP is
ratified and implemented, at which point we will look at the ANA state
for each namespace. Another possibility that was prototyped is to
use the path that is closes to the submitting NUMA code, which will be
mostly interesting for PCI, but might also be useful for RDMA or FC
transports in the future. There is not plan to implement round robin
or I/O service time path selectors, as those are not scalable with
the performance rates provided by NVMe.
The multipath device will go away once all paths to it disappear,
any delay to keep it alive needs to be implemented at the controller
level.
