[PATCHv8] nvme: fix refcounting imbalance when all paths are down

[Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de>]

When the last path to a ns_head drops the current code
removes the ns_head from the subsystem list, but will only
delete the disk itself if the last reference to the ns_head
drops. This is causing an refcounting imbalance eg when
applications have a reference to the disk, as then they'll
never get notified that the disk is in fact dead.
This patch moves the call 'del_gendisk' into nvme_mpath_check_last_path(),
ensuring that the disk can be properly removed and applications get the
appropriate notifications.

Changes to v8:
- Rebase to 5.14
- Rename nvme_mpath_check_last_path() to nvme_mpath_shutdown_disk()
Changes to v7:
- Move the list_del() call outside of nvme_mpath_check_last_path()
Changes to v6:
- Move the list_del() into nvme_mpath_check_last_path()
- Drop the tests for GENHD_FL_UP
Changes to v5:
- Synchronize between nvme_init_ns_head() and nvme_mpath_check_last_path()
- Check for removed gendisk in nvme_ns_head_submit_bio()
Changes to v4:
- Call del_gendisk() in nvme_mpath_check_last_path() to avoid deadlock
Changes to v3:
- Simplify if() clause to detect duplicate namespaces
Changes to v2:
- Drop memcpy() statement
Changes to v1:
- Always check NSIDs after reattach
