dm table: allow upgrade from bio-based to specialized bio-based variant In practice this is really only meaningful in the context of the DM multipath target (which uses dm_table_set_type() to set the type of device DM should create via its "queue_mode" option). So this change allows a DM multipath device with "queue_mode bio" to be upgraded from DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED to DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED -- iff the underlying device(s) are NVMe. DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED is just a DM core implementation detail that allows for NVMe-specific optimizations (e.g. use direct_make_request instead of generic_make_request). If in the future there is no benefit or need to distinguish NVMe vs not: then it will be removed. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
