Right, we can safely remove them from the list for those other cases
precisely because they can't do IO anymore.

If the controller fails during del_gendisk, we have to kill all
the request queues and set capacities to 0 to force del_gendisk to
complete. If the namespace isn't in the ctrl->namespace list, the driver
can't find the namespace to kill.
