lightnvm: manage lun partitions internally in mm
LUNs are exclusively owned by targets implementing a block device FTL. Doing this reservation requires at the moment a 2-way callback gennvm <-> target. The reason behind this is that LUNs were not assumed to always be exclusively owned by targets. However, this design decision goes against I/O determinism QoS (two targets would mix I/O on the same parallel unit in the device). This patch makes LUN reservation as part of the target creation on the media manager. This makes that LUNs are always exclusively owned by the target instantiated on top of them. LUN stripping and/or sharing should be implemented on the target itself or the layers on top.
