<title>NVMe: fix type warning on 32-bit</title>

<content type='text'>
A recent change to the ioctl handling caused a new harmless
warning in the NVMe driver on all 32-bit machines:

drivers/block/nvme-core.c: In function 'nvme_submit_io':
drivers/block/nvme-core.c:1794:29: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]

In order to shup up that warning, this introduces a new
temporary variable that uses a double cast to extract
the pointer from an __u64 structure member.

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the block driver pull request for 4.1.  As with the core bits,
  this is a relatively slow round.  This pull request contains:

   - Various fixes and cleanups for NVMe, from Alexey Khoroshilov, Chong
     Yuan, myself, Keith Busch, and Murali Iyer.

   - Documentation and code cleanups for nbd from Markus Pargmann.

   - Change of brd maintainer to me, from Ross Zwisler.  At least the
     email doesn't bounce anymore then.

   - Two xen-blkback fixes from Tao Chen"

  NVMe: Meta data handling through submit io ioctl
  NVMe: Add translation for block limits

Checking fails static analysis due to additional arithmetic prior to
the NULL check. Mapping doesn't return NULL here anyway, so removing
the check.

class_create() returns ERR_PTR on failure,
so IS_ERR() should be used instead of check for NULL.

Usually the admin queue depth of 64 is plenty, but for some use cases we
really need it larger. Examples are use cases like MAT, where you have
to touch all of NAND for init/format like purposes. In those cases, we
see a good 2x increase with an increased queue depth.

<title>nvme: Fix PRP list calculation for non-4k system page size</title>

PRP list calculation is supposed to be based on device's page size.
Systems with page size larger than device's page size cause corruption
to the name space as well as system memory with out this fix.
Systems like x86 might not experience this issue because it uses
PAGE_SIZE of 4K where as powerpc uses PAGE_SIZE of 64k while NVMe device's
page size varies depending upon the vendor.

<title>NVMe: Fix blk-mq hot cpu notification</title>

The driver may issue commands to a device that may never return, so its
request_queue could always have active requests while the controller is
running. Waiting for the queue to freeze could block forever, which is
what blk-mq's hot cpu notification handler was doing when nvme drives
were in use.

This has the nvme driver make the asynchronous event command's tag
reserved and does not keep the request active. We can't have more than
one since the request is released back to the request_queue before the
command is completed. Having only one avoids potential tag collisions,
and reserving the tag for this purpose prevents other admin tasks from
reusing the tag.

I also couldn't think of a scenario where issuing AEN requests single
depth is worse than issuing them in batches, so I don't think we lose
anything with this change.

As an added bonus, doing it this way removes "Cancelling I/O" warnings
observed when unbinding the nvme driver from a device.

This fixes a race accessing an invalid address when a controller's admin
queue is in use during a reset for failure or hot removal occurs. The
admin queue will be frozen to prevent new users from entering prior to
the doorbell queue being unmapped.
