Yasuaki Ishimatsu 92153d30c7 null_blk: add usage hints for NVM
If CONFIG_NVM is disabled, loading null_block module with use_lightnvm=1
fails. But there are no messages and documents related to the failure.

Add the appropriate error message.

Matias Bjørling b2b7e00148 null_blk: register as a LightNVM device
Add support for registering as a LightNVM device. This allows us to
evaluate the performance of the LightNVM subsystem.

In /drivers/Makefile, LightNVM is moved above block device drivers
to make sure that the LightNVM media managers have been initialized
before drivers under /drivers/block are initialized.

Matias Bjørling 200052440d null_blk: set use_per_node_hctx param to false
The defaults for the module is to instantiate itself with blk-mq and a
submit queue for each CPU node in the system.

To save resources, initialize instead with a single submit queue.
