Subject[PATCH] nvme-core: Fix subsystem instance mismatches
With multipath enabled (which is now default in many distros), nvme
controllers and their respective namespaces can be numbered
differently. For example: nvme0n1 might actually belong to controller
nvme1, which is super confusing (and may have broken any scripts that
rely on the numbering relation). To make matters worse, the mismatches
can sometimes change from boot to boot so anyone dealing with the
nvme control device has to inspect sysfs every boot to ensure they
get the right one.

The reason for this is that the X in nvmeXn1 is the subsystem's instance
number (when multipath is enabled) which is distinct from the
controller's instance and the subsystem instance is assigned from a
separate IDA after the controller gets identified and this can race
a bit when multiple controllers are being setup.

To fix this, assign the subsystem's instance based on the instance
number of the controller's instance that first created it. There should
always be fewer subsystems than controllers so the should not be a need
to create extra subsystems that overlap existing controllers.
