[PATCH 0/3] [SRU Y/Z/A] APST gets enabled against explicit kernel option

[Kai-Heng Feng]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1699004

[Impact]
The NVMe driver doesn't set APSTE on APST quirked devices at initialization.
If the BIOS or NVMe enables APST before driver loading, APST will never be
disabled, it also ignores explicit kernel option as result.
So the faulty NVMe may not work as intended.

[Test Case]
$ sudo nvme get-feature -f 0x0c -H /dev/nvme0
...will show APST is "Disabled" instead of "Enabled"

[Fix]
Originally, APSTA is used to determined whether APST should be enabled or not,
but it actually means hardware support instead of APST enabled/disabled.
Separate the logic "apst is supported" and "to enable apst", so we can
use the latter one to explicitly disable APST at initialiaztion.

[Regression Potential]
Very low.
This SRU didn't change anything really - it just explicitly set APSTE at
initialization.

  nvme: Display raw APST configuration via DYNAMIC_DEBUG
  nvme: Add nvme_core.force_apst to ignore the NO_APST quirk
