This exposes ioctl and sysfs methods a user can invoke to request the
driver rescan a controller and its namespaces. This is less harsh than
doing a controller reset, which temporarilly halts all IO, just to
surface a newly attached namespace.
This is mainly useful for controllers that implement the namespace
management command, but do not support the namespace notify change
asynchronous event notification.

Currently all NVMe command and completion structures are exposed to userspace
through the uapi version of nvme.h. They are not an ABI between the kernel
and userspace, and will change in C-incompatible way for future versions of
the spec. Move them to the kernel version of the file and rename the uapi
header to nvme_ioctl.h so that userspace can easily detect the presence of
the new clean header. Nvme-cli already carries a local copy of the header,
so it won't be affected by this move.
