Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] nvme: prevent admin controller from smart log fetch (LID 2)

Similar to a discovery ctrl, prevent an admin-ctrl from getting a smart
log. LID 2 is optional for admin controllers to support.

In the future when support for LID=0 (supported log pages) is added,
GLP accesses can be made smarter by basing such calls on response
from LID=0 reads.

Reference: NVMe Base rev 2.2, sec 3.1.3.5, fig 31.
