nvme: refactor namespaces to support non-gendisk devices
With LightNVM enabled namespaces, the gendisk structure is not exposed to the user. This prevents LightNVM users from accessing the NVMe device driver specific sysfs entries, and LightNVM namespace geometry. Refactor the revalidation process, so that a namespace, instead of a gendisk, is revalidated. This later allows patches to wire up the sysfs entries up to a non-gendisk namespace.
