Christoph Hellwig 9ea9b9c483 remove the lightnvm subsystem
Lightnvm supports the OCSSD 1.x and 2.0 specs which were early attempts
to produce Open Channel SSDs and never made it into the NVMe spec
proper.  They have since been superceeded by NVMe enhancements such
as ZNS support.  Remove the support per the deprecation schedule.

========================================
The Linux driver implementer's API guide
========================================
The kernel offers a wide variety of interfaces to support the development
of device drivers. This document is an only somewhat organized collection
of some of those interfaces — it will hopefully get better over time! The
available subsections can be seen below.
