[RESEND PATCH v2 3/4] nvme: add debugfs helpers for NVMe drivers

Introduce helper APIs that allow NVMe drivers to register and unregister
debugfs entries, along with a reusable attribute structure for defining
new debugfs files.

The implementation uses seq_file interfaces to safely expose per-
namespace or per-path statistics, while supporting both simple show
callbacks and full seq_operations.

This will be used by subsequent patches to expose NVMe-TCP queue
and flow information for tuning NVMe TCP I/O workqueue and network stack
components.
