Bug description:
  == Impact ==

  During device discovery, when multipath is disabled, nvme multipath
  module will very likely think that the name space on one nvme
  controller belongs to the other controller.

  
  == Fix ==

  Commit a785dbccd95c37606c720580714f5a7a8b3255f1 upstream

  From: Keith Busch <keith.busch at intel.com>

  When CONFIG_NVME_MULTIPATH is set, but we're not using nvme to multipath,
  namespaces with multiple paths were not creating unique names due to
  reusing the same instance number from the namespace's head.

  This patch fixes this by falling back to the non-multipath naming method
  when the parameter disabled using multipath.
