[PATCHv2 5/5] nvme: Send uevent for unhandled AEN completions

[keith.busch@intel.com (Keith Busch)]

This will give udev a chance to handle asynchronous event notification
and clear the log to unmask future events of the same type. Since the
core driver allows only one AEN request at a time, we can only have one
possible oustanding uevent to send. This implementation saves the last
AEN result from the IRQ handler, and sends the uevent change notification
when the AEN work is rescheduled.

AEN events that the kernel handles directly will not create a uevent. Such
events will stop being sent to the user as new handlers are added to
the kernel.
