nvme: export controller reset event count via sysfs
The NVMe controller transitions into the RESETTING state during error recovery, link instability, firmware activation, or when a reset is explicitly triggered by the user. Expose a per-ctrl sysfs attribute reset_count, under diag attribute group to provide visibility into these RESETTING state transitions. Observing the frequency of reset events can help users identify issues such as PCIe errors or unstable fabric links. This counter is also writable thus allowing user to reset its value, if needed. This counter can also be consumed by monitoring tools such as nvme-top to improve controller-level observability.
