nvme: revert the cross-controller atomic write size validation
This was originally added by commit 8695f06 ("nvme: all namespaces
in a subsystem must adhere to a common atomic write size") to check
the all controllers in a subsystem report the same atomic write size,
but the check wasn't quite correct and caused problems for devices
with multiple namespaces that report different LBA sizes. Commit
f46d273 ("nvme: fix atomic write size validation") tried to fix
this, but then caused problems for namespace rediscovery after a
format with an LBA size change that changes the AWUPF value.
This drops the validation and essentially reverts those two commits while
keeping the cleanup that went in between the two. We'll need to figure
out how to properly check for the mouse trap that nvme left us, but for
now revert the check to keep devices working for users who couldn't care
less about the atomic write feature.
