Being one of the persons who has to backport a lot of NVMe code to older
kernels I'm not a huge fan of renaming nmve_ns.

The churn is main main worry.  Well and that I don't have a reall good
name for what currently is nvme_ns either :)

That said, I don't have a better name for nvme_ns_head (yet) but I'll try to
think of one as well. OTOH looking at nvme_ns_head it actaully is the list
head of the nvme_ns list.

But head also has connotations in the SAN world.  Maybe nvme_ns_chain?

I know that's why I didn't really like it all too much in the first place as
well. For nvme_ns_chain, it's not a chain really (the list itself is a chain,
the structure really is the list head...), but I suck at naming things so.
