nvme: send a rediscover uevent when a persistent discovery controller reconnects

When a discovery controller is disconnected, no AENs will arrive to
notify the host about discovery log change events.

In order to solve this, send a uevent notification when a
persistent discovery controller reconnects. We add a new ctrl
flag NVME_CTRL_STARTED_ONCE that will be set on the first
start, and consecutive calls will find it set, and send the
event to userspace if the controller is a discovery controller.

Upon the event reception, userspace will re-read the discovery
log page and will act upon changes as it sees fit.
