While doing recent bring-up of nvme/host with target-core T10-PI,
I noticed /sys/block/nvme*/integrity/device_is_integrity_capable
was false, and /sys/block/nvme*/integrity/tag_size contained
a bogus value.

AFAICT outside of blk_integrity_compare() for DM + MD these
are informational values, but go ahead and add the missing
assignments for nvme/host to match what SCSI does within
sd_dif_config_host() for consistency's sake.

This patch adds a new state that when set has the core automatically
kill request queues prior to removing namespaces.

If PCI device is not present at the time the nvme driver's remove is
called, we can kill all IO queues immediately instead of waiting for
the watchdog thread to do that at its polling interval. This improves
scenarios where multiple hot plug events occur at the same time since
it doesn't block the pci enumeration for as long.

This exposes ioctl and sysfs methods a user can invoke to request the
driver rescan a controller and its namespaces. This is less harsh than
doing a controller reset, which temporarilly halts all IO, just to
surface a newly attached namespace.

This is mainly useful for controllers that implement the namespace
management command, but do not support the namespace notify change
asynchronous event notification.

<title>NVMe: Unbind driver on failure</title>

<id>921920ab32f290dafdb0359024d4587897712728</id>
<content type='text'>
Instead of removing the PCI device from the kernel's topology on
controller failure, this patch simply requests unbinding the device
from the driver. This avoids concurrently running pci removal with the
hot plug event, which has been reported to be problematic when multiple
surprise events occur near simultaneously.

The other benefit is that we will have PCI config and memory space
available to poke around for debugging a failed controller, assuming
the device was not physically removed.

The down side occurs if the platform and/or kernel do not support any
type of surprise hot removal. The device will remain visible through
sysfs (and therefore lspci), and some manual work is necessary to get
the logical topology corrected. But if your platform and/or kernel don't
support surprise removal, you probably shouldn't be doing that anyway.

Use the online queue count instead of the number of allocated queues. The
controller should just return an invalid queue identifier error to the
commands if a queue wasn't created. While it's not harmful, it's still
not correct.

The driver previously requested allocating queues for the total possible
number of CPUs so that blk-mq could rebalance these if CPUs were added
after initialization. The number of hardware contexts can now be changed
at runtime, so we only need to allocate the number of online queues
since we can add more later.

 "On top of the core pull request, this is the drivers pull request for
  this merge window.  This contains:

   - Switch drivers to the new write back cache API, and kill off the
     flush flags.  From me.

   - Kill the discard support for the STEC pci-e flash driver.  It's
     trivially broken, and apparently unmaintained, so it's safer to
     just remove it.  From Jeff Moyer.

   - A set of lightnvm updates from the usual suspects (Matias/Javier,
     and Simon), and fixes from Arnd, Jeff Mahoney, Sagi, and Wenwei
     Tao.

   - A set of updates for NVMe:

        - Turn the controller state management into a proper state
          machine.  From Christoph.

        - Shuffling of code in preparation for NVMe-over-fabrics, also
          from Christoph.

        - Cleanup of the command prep part from Ming Lin.

        - Rewrite of the discard support from Ming Lin.

        - Deadlock fix for namespace removal from Ming Lin.

        - Use the now exported blk-mq tag helper for IO termination.
          From Sagi.

        - Various little fixes from Christoph, Guilherme, Keith, Ming
          Lin, Wang Sheng-Hui.

     from Keith"
