Add code for path selection.
NVMe ANA is abstracted into enum mpath_access_state. The motivation here is
so that SCSI ALUA can be used. Callbacks .is_disabled, .is_optimized,
.get_access_state are added to get the path access state.
Path selection modes round-robin, NUMA, and queue-depth are added, same
as NVMe supports.
NVMe has almost like-for-like equivalents here:
- __mpath_find_path() -> __nvme_find_path()
- mpath_find_path() -> nvme_find_path()
and similar for all introduced callee functions.
Functions mpath_set_iopolicy() and mpath_get_iopolicy() are added for
setting default iopolicy.
A separate mpath_iopolicy structure is introduced. There is no iopolicy
member included in the mpath_head structure as it may not suit NVMe, where
iopolicy is per-subsystem and not per namespace.

Hmm so here we don't have MPATH_STATE_NONOPTIMIZED.
We are morphing NVME_ANA_NONOPTIMIZED as MPATH_STATE_ACTIVE.
Is it because SCSI doesn't have (NONOPTIMIZED) state?

I haven't seen any API which help set nr_active or numa_node.
Do we need to have those under struct mpath_head_template ?
Thanks,
