lightnvm: control life of nvm_dev in driver LightNVM compatible device drivers does not have a method to expose LightNVM specific sysfs entries. To enable LightNVM sysfs entries to be exposed, lightnvm device drivers require a struct device to attach it to. To allow both the actual device driver and lightnvm sysfs entries to coexist, the device driver tracks the lifetime of the nvm_dev structure. This patch refactors NVMe and null_blk to handle the lifetime of struct nvm_dev, which eliminates the need for struct gendisk when a lightnvm compatible device is provided.
