The double indirect bio leads to somewhat suboptimal code generation.
Instead return the (original or split) bio, and make sure the
request_queue arguments to the lower level helpers is passed after the
bio to avoid constant reshuffling of the argument passing registers.

Also give it and the helpers used to implement it more descriptive names.

<title>nvme: define compat_ioctl again to unbreak 32-bit userspace.</title>

Commit 89b3d6e60550 ("nvme: simplify the compat ioctl handling") removed
the initialization of compat_ioctl from the nvme block_device_operations
structures.

Presumably the expectation was that 32-bit ioctls would be directed
through the regular handler but this is not the case: failing to assign
.compat_ioctl actually means that the compat case is disabled entirely,
and any attempt to submit nvme ioctls from 32-bit userspace fails
outright with -ENOTTY.

For example:

  % smartctl -x /dev/nvme0n1
  [...]
  Read NVMe Identify Controller failed: NVME_IOCTL_ADMIN_CMD: Inappropriate ioctl for device

The blkdev_compat_ptr_ioctl helper can be used to direct compat calls
through the main ioctl handler and makes things work again.

Fixes: 89b3d6e60550 ("nvme: simplify the compat ioctl handling")

Introduce handler for fops-&gt;uring_cmd(), implementing async passthru
on char device (/dev/ngX). The handler supports newly introduced
operation NVME_URING_CMD_IO. This operates on a new structure
nvme_uring_cmd, which is similar to struct nvme_passthru_cmd64 but
without the embedded 8b result field. This field is not needed since
uring-cmd allows to return additional result via big-CQE.

nvme_mpath_init_identify() invoked from nvme_init_identify() fetches a
fresh ANA log from the ctrl.  This is essential to have an up to date
path states for both existing namespaces and for those scan_work may
discover once the ctrl is up.

This happens in the following cases:
  1) A new ctrl is being connected.
  2) An existing ctrl is successfully reconnected.
  3) An existing ctrl is being reset.

While in (1) ctrl-&gt;namespaces is empty, (2 &amp; 3) may have namespaces, and
nvme_read_ana_log() may call nvme_update_ns_ana_state().

This result in a hang when the ANA state of an existing namespace changes
and makes the disk live: nvme_mpath_set_live() issues IO to the namespace
through the ctrl, which does NOT have IO queues yet.

See sample hang below.

Solution:
- nvme_update_ns_ana_state() to call set_live only if ctrl is live
- nvme_read_ana_log() call from nvme_mpath_init_identify()
  therefore only fetches and parses the ANA log;
  any erros in this process will fail the ctrl setup as appropriate;
- a separate function nvme_mpath_update()
  is called in nvme_start_ctrl();
  this parses the ANA log without fetching it.
  At this point the ctrl is live,
  therefore, disks can be set live normally.

Sample failure:
    nvme nvme0: starting error recovery
    nvme nvme0: Reconnecting in 10 seconds...

<title>nvme: allow duplicate NSIDs for private namespaces</title>

A NVMe subsystem with multiple controller can have private namespaces
that use the same NSID under some conditions:

 "If Namespace Management, ANA Reporting, or NVM Sets are supported, the
  NSIDs shall be unique within the NVM subsystem. If the Namespace
  Management, ANA Reporting, and NVM Sets are not supported, then NSIDs:
   a) for shared namespace shall be unique; and
   b) for private namespace are not required to be unique."

Reference: Section 6.1.6 NSID and Namespace Usage; NVM Express 1.4c spec.

Make sure this specific setup is supported in Linux.

Fixes: 9ad1927a3bc2 ("nvme: always search for namespace head")

[hch: refactored and fixed the controller vs subsystem based naming
      conflict]
