[PATCH v2 1/2] nvme: switch to RCU freeing the namespace

[mlin@kernel.org (Ming Lin)]

From: Ming Lin <ming.l@ssi.samsung.com>

Switch to RCU freeing the namespace structure so that
nvme_start_queues, nvme_stop_queues and nvme_kill_queues would
be able to get away with only a RCU read side critical section.
