In NVMe, namespace is being attached to process I/O. We register NVMe namespace to a controller via nvme_register_namespace() during nvme_ns_setup(). This is main reason of receiving NvmeCtrl object instance to this function to map the namespace to a controller.
To make namespace instance more independent, it should be split into two parts: setup and register. This patch split them into two differnt parts, and finally nvme_ns_setup() does not have nothing to do with NvmeCtrl instance at all. This patch is a former patch to introduce NVMe subsystem scheme to the existing design especially for multi-path. In that case, it should be split into two to make namespace independent from a controller.
