In case we have already established connection to nvmf target, it
shouldn't be allowed to change the model_number. E.g. if someone will
identify ctrl and get model_number of "my_model" later on will change
the model_numbel via configfs to "my_new_model" this will break the NVMe
specification for "Get Log Page – Persistent Event Log" that refers to
Model Number as: "This field contains the same value as reported in the
Model Number field of the Identify Controller data structure, bytes
63:24."

Although it doesn't mentioned explicitly that this field can't be
changed, we can assume it.

So allow setting this field only once: using configfs or in the first
identify ctrl operation.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
