Nilay Shroff 49b9f86a59 nvme: avoid creating multipath sysfs group under namespace path devices
Commit 4dbd2b2ebe ("nvme-multipath: Add visibility for round-robin
io-policy") introduced the creation of the multipath sysfs group under
the NVMe head gendisk device node. However, it also inadvertently added
the same sysfs group under each namespace path device which head node
refers to and that is incorrect.

The multipath sysfs group should only be exposed through the namespace
head gendisk node. This is sufficient, as the head device already
provides symbolic links to the individual namespace paths it manages.

This patch fixes the issue by preventing the creation of the multipath
sysfs group under namespace path devices, ensuring it only appears under
the head disk node.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
