Subject: nvme-multipath: fix sysfs dangerously created links
Git-commit: 9bd82b1a4418d9b7db000bf557ed608f2872b7c9
Patch-mainline: v4.16-rc4
References: bsc#1096529

If multipathing is enabled, each NVMe subsystem creates a head
namespace (e.g., nvme0n1) and multiple private namespaces
(e.g., nvme0c0n1 and nvme0c1n1) in sysfs. When creating links for
private namespaces, links of head namespace are used, so the
namespace creation order must be followed (e.g., nvme0n1 ->
nvme0c1n1). If the order is not followed, links of sysfs will be
incomplete or kernel panic will occur.

The kernel panic was:
  kernel BUG at fs/sysfs/symlink.c:27!
  Call Trace:
    nvme_mpath_add_disk_links+0x5d/0x80 [nvme_core]
    nvme_validate_ns+0x5c2/0x850 [nvme_core]
    nvme_scan_work+0x1af/0x2d0 [nvme_core]

Correct order
Context A     Context B
nvme0n1
nvme0c0n1     nvme0c1n1

Incorrect order
Context A     Context B
              nvme0c1n1
nvme0n1
nvme0c0n1

The nvme_mpath_add_disk (for creating head namespace) is called
just before the nvme_mpath_add_disk_links (for creating private
namespaces). In nvme_mpath_add_disk, the first context acquires
the lock of subsystem and creates a head namespace, and other
contexts do nothing by checking GENHD_FL_UP of a head namespace
after waiting to acquire the lock. We verified the code with or
without multipathing using three vendors of dual-port NVMe SSDs.
