NVMe: Fix namespace removal deadlock
This patch makes nvme namespace removal lockless. It is up to the caller to ensure no active namespace scanning is occuring. To ensure no scan work occurs, the nvme pci driver adds a removing state to the controller device to avoid queueing scan work during removal. The work is flushed after setting the state, so no new scan work can be queued. The lockless removal allows the driver to cleanup a namespace request_queue if the controller fails during removal. Previously this could deadlock trying to acquire the namespace mutex in order to handle such events. Signed-off-by:Keith Busch <keith.busch@intel.com> Reviewed-by:
