nvme: fix lockdep warning in nvme_mpath_clear_current_path



When running blktest's nvme/005 with a lockdep enabled kernel the test
case fails due to the following lockdep splat in dmesg:

 =============================
 WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
 4.17.0-rc5 #881 Not tainted
 -----------------------------
 drivers/nvme/host/nvme.h:457 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

 other info that might help us debug this:

 rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
 3 locks held by kworker/u32:5/1102:
  #0:         (ptrval) ((wq_completion)"nvme-wq"){+.+.}, at: process_one_work+0x152/0x5c0
  #1:         (ptrval) ((work_completion)(&ctrl->scan_work)){+.+.}, at: process_one_work+0x152/0x5c0
  #2:         (ptrval) (&subsys->lock#2){+.+.}, at: nvme_ns_remove+0x43/0x1c0 [nvme_core]

The only caller of nvme_mpath_clear_current_path() is nvme_ns_remove()
which holds the subsys lock so it's likely a false positive, but when
using rcu_access_pointer(), we're telling rcu and lockdep that we're
only after the pointer falue.
