scsi: mpt3sas: Added support for nvme encapsulated request message.
* Mpt3sas driver uses the NVMe Encapsulated Request message to send an
NVMe command to an NVMe device attached to the IOC.
* Normal I/O commands like reads and writes are passed to the
controller as SCSI commands and the controller has the ability to
translate the commands to NVMe equivalent.
* This encapsulated NVMe command is used by applications to send
direct NVMe commands to NVMe drives.
