[PATCH 13/13] docs: nvme-multipath: Add FC-NVMe marginal state

Adds documentation for the new marginal state for
NVMe over Fibre Channel. Documents how to check and reset the state,
as well as a description of how it affects multipath policies.

+FC-NVMe
+----
+On NVMe over Fibre Channel there is an additional state called `marginal`
+All policies will treat this path as offline and will not use it unless
+all other paths are marginal or unavailable. In that case, the policy will
+select the best path based on the policy.
+
+To see the current path state, use one of the following methods:
+   1. cat /sys/class/fc_host/host*/device/rport-*/fc_remote_ports/rport-*/port_state
+   2. cat /sys/devices/virtual/nvme-subsystem/nvme-subsys*/nvme*/state
+To reset a path to online use:
+   1. echo "Online" > /sys/class/fc_host/host*/device/rport-*/fc_remote_ports/rport-*/port_state
+
+The marginal state is caused by a
+FPIN-LI (Fabric Performance Impact Notification - Link Impact) event.
+FPIN-LI event counters can be seen with:
+   1. cat /sys/class/fc_host/host*/statistics/fpin_li*
