[PATCH blktests 1/3] common/nvme: do not call 'nvme id-ns' to non-nvme devices

[Shin'ichiro Kawasaki]

The test case block/041 tests PI metadata capability in the block layer.
At this moment, nvme is the only one block device that supports the
capability. To check that the test target nvme devices fulfills the
requirement, the test case calls 'nvme ns-id' command via
_test_dev_disable_extended_lba(). However, since the test case is in
the block group, TEST_DEVS can specify non-nvme devices. Even though the
test case is skipped by _require_test_dev_is_nvme() check, the
'nvme ns-id' is called for the non-nvme device and fails. It spits out
unnecessary error messages.

To avoid the error message, check if the test device is nvme before
calling 'nvme ns-id'. For the check, factor out a helper function
_test_dev_is_nvme(). While at it, replace short command options -q and
-f with long options --quiet and --canonicalize for readability.

[PATCH blktests 2/3] check: increment bash requirement version from 4.2 to 4.3

[Shin'ichiro Kawasaki]

The helper functions _get_nvmet_ports() and _get_nvmet_port_params() use
the bash 'nameref' feature, introduced in the bash version 4.3.
Currently, blktests README and the check script declare bash version
4.2 as the minimum bash version, leading to a version mismatch.

Fix this inconsistency by updating the minimum required bash version
to 4.3. Note that bash 4.2 was released in 2011, while bash 4.3 was
released in 2014. This change is unlikely to affect blktests users.

[PATCH blktests 3/3] src: add nvme-passthru-admin-uring to .gitignore

[Shin'ichiro Kawasaki]

Commit a94b77010d56 ("nvme/067: test io_uring pass through for NVMe
admin queue") introduced a new program nvme-passthru-admin-uring under
/src directory, but omitted it from .gitignore. Add it to .gitignore.
