[RFC PATCH] nvme: fix RCU hole that allowed for endless looping in multipath round robin

[Chris Leech <cleech@redhat.com>]

Make nvme_ns_remove match the assumptions elsewhere.

1) !NVME_NS_READY needs to be srcu synchronized to make sure nothing is
   running in __nvme_find_path or nvme_round_robin_path that will
   re-assign this ns to current_path.

2) Any matching current_path entries need to be cleared before removing
   from the siblings list, to prevent calling nvme_round_robin_path with
   an "old" ns that's off list.

3) Finally the list_del_rcu can happen, and then synchronize again
   before releasing any reference counts.
