[PATCH] nvme: duplicate NQNs check if devices needed

[Liguang Zhang]

If a device provides an NQN it is expected to be globally unique.
Unfortunately some firmware revisions for Intel P4500/P4510 and some
other old devices did not satisfy this requirement. If devices have the
same subnqn field, after a kernel upgrade from 4.19 to 5.10, if a system
has >1 affected device then only one device is enabled. Error like this:

nvme nvme2: Duplicate cntlid 0 with nvme0, rejecting
nvme nvme3: Duplicate cntlid 1 with nvme1, rejecting

In these circumstances, if subnqn did not begin with "nqn.", we assume
that devices did not need subnqn check.
