[PATCH 4/3 rfc nvme-cli] fabrics: support persistent connections to a discovery controller

[sagi@grimberg.me (Sagi Grimberg)]

Simply don't destroy the discovery controller after getting the
log pages. Note that persistent connection to a discovery subsystem
require to pass in a non-zero kato value, so if not provided we
simply use a default of 30 seconds kato.
