[PATCHv4-4.5 3/7] NVMe: Fix namespace removal deadlock

[keith.busch@intel.com (Keith Busch)]

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.

v3->v4:

  This combines two patches from the previous series into a single commit
  as it these two make a single feature.

  The test for controller removing is done prior to queueing scan work
  instead of in the scan work itself, and adds a code comment explaining
  its purpose.
