lightnvm: rename gennvm and update description
The generic manager should be called the general media manager, and instead of using the rather long name of "gennvm" in front of each data structures, use "gen" instead to shorten it. Update the description of the media manager as well to make the media manager purpose clearer. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling <m@bjorling.me> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
