If there weren't resistence to renaming structs, it would be more
aligned to how the specification calls these if we rename nvme_ns to
nvme_ns_path, and what you're calling nvme_ns_head is should just be
the nvme_ns.

Then we'd still need a good name for what's now nvme_ns :)

But seriously speaking - I'm a little worried because Linus is really
pissed at me for doing major refactoring in block land (by proxy of
Jens who gets all the heat).  I just don't feel comfortable with a
rename at the moment, even if it's the right thing.
