  If CONFIG_NVM is disabled, loading null_block module with use_lightnvm=1
  fails. But there are no messages and documents related to the failure.

  Add the appropriate error message.

  Add support for registering as a LightNVM device. This allows us to
  evaluate the performance of the LightNVM subsystem.

  In /drivers/Makefile, LightNVM is moved above block device drivers
  to make sure that the LightNVM media managers have been initialized
  before drivers under /drivers/block are initialized.

  The defaults for the module is to instantiate itself with blk-mq and a
  submit queue for each CPU node in the system.

  To save resources, initialize instead with a single submit queue.
