Subject: [PATCH 31/37] dell/3050micro: disable nvme hotplug

in my testing, when running my 3050micro for a few days,
the nvme would sometimes randomly rename.

e.g. nvme0n1 renamed to nvme0n2

this might cause crashes in linux, if booting only from the
nvme. in my case, i was booting from mdraid (sata+nvme) and
every few days, the nvme would rename at least once, causing
my RAID to become unsynced. since i'm using RAID1, this was
OK and I could simply re-sync the array, but this is quite
precarious indeed. if you're using raid0, that will potentially
corrupt your RAID array indefinitely.

this same issue manifested on the T480/T480 thinkpads, and
S3 resume would break because of that, when booting from nvme,
because the nvme would be "unplugged" and appear to linux as a
new device (the one that you booted from).

the fix there was to disable hotplugging on that pci-e slot
for the nvme, so apply the same fix here for 3050 micro
