The NVMe Base Specification 2.1 states that:

"""
A host requests an explicit persistent connection ... by specifying a
non-zero Keep Alive Timer value in the Connect command.
"""

As such if we are starting a persistent connection to a discovery
controller and the KATO is currently 0 we need to update KATO to a non
zero value to avoid continuous timeouts on the target.
