UPSTREAM: nvme: Move block dev creation from uclass post_probe() to driver probe()

At present the block device creation happens in the NVMe uclass
driver post_probe() phase. In preparation to support multiple
namespaces, we should issue namespace identify before creating
block devices but that touches the underlying hardware hence it
is not appropriate to do such in the uclass driver post_probe().
Let's move it to driver probe() phase instead.

nvme: Get rid of the global variable nvme_info

At present the NVMe uclass driver uses a global variable nvme_info
to store global information like namespace id, and NVMe controller
driver's priv struct has a blk_dev_start that is used to calculate
the namespace id based on the global information from nvme_info.

This is not a good design in the DM world and can be replaced with
the following changes:

- Encode the namespace id in the NVMe block device name during
the NVMe uclass post probe
- Extract the namespace id from the device name during the NVMe
block device probe
- Let BLK uclass calculate the devnum for us by passing -1 to
blk_create_devicef() as the devnum

nvme: Use blk_create_devicef() API

The codes in nvme_uclass_post_probe() can be replaced to call the
blk_create_devicef() API directly.

nvme: Add NVM Express driver support

NVM Express (NVMe) is a register level interface that allows host
software to communicate with a non-volatile memory subsystem. This
interface is optimized for enterprise and client solid state drives,
typically attached to the PCI express interface.

This adds a U-Boot driver support of devices that follow the NVMe
standard [1] and supports basic read/write operations.

Tested with a 400GB Intel SSD 750 series NVMe card with controller
id 8086:0953.
