Hi guys,
I've implemented the NVMe reservation feature. Please review it, all
comments are welcome as usual.

Changes from v1 to v2:
- Implement the reservation notification report, includes registration
preempted, reservation released and reservation preempted.
And also handle the reservation log page avaliable event and send get
reservation log page command to clear log page at host.

- Put the reservation check access after validate opcode. And remove
opcodes which nvmet not implement yet check.
Now there is no admin opcode nvmet implemented needs reservation check,
so I dont add reservation check to admin command path.
Next we need to do reservation check includes the situation of nsid is
0xffffffff at each admin command path, if it is needed.

- Add reservation commands support in nvmet_get_cmd_effects_nvm().

- From Chaitanya, change the local variable tree style to make it cleaner,
and add some comments about NVMe spec.
And also change others advice from chaitanya.

- Put the nvmet_pr_check_cmd_access and nvmet_parse_pr_cmd into reservation
enable check warp.

- Remove kmem_cache instead to use kmalloc and kfree.

- Change others advice from Sagi.

- Add a blktest test case, this patch will be sent before these series of
pathes.

Advice I dont adopt:
- From Sagi, use rcu instead of rwlock.
I need protect registrant_list, holder, type and generation simutaneously,
the rcu can not protect multiple units.

- From Sagi, use blkdev's pr_ops if it is exist.
The backend is unable to distinguish connections from the frontend, If we
use the pr_ops of the block device, the block device's target would only
recognize it as a reservation by the nvme target.
Could you plz give me more information? Sagi?

- From Keith, use nvmet_get_cmd_effects_nvm to see if a command would violate
a reservation.
The information is missing in effects, for example the flush command should
be checked, but there is onely a NVME_CMD_EFFECTS_CSUPP flag in effects, no
LBCC.
