[PATCH V3 8/8] nvme-core: warn on allocating admin tag set with existing queue

[Maurizio Lombardi <mlombard@redhat.com>]

Currently, nvme_alloc_admin_tag_set() silently drops and releases
the existing admin_q if it called on a controller that already
had one (e.g., during a controller reset).

However, transport drivers should not be reallocating the admin tag
set and queue during a reset. Dropping the old queue and allocating
a new one destroys user-configured timeouts and may race against
nvme_admin_timeout_store()

Since all transport drivers are now expected to preserve the admin queue
across resets, calling nvme_alloc_admin_tag_set() when ctrl->admin_q
is already populated is a bug.

Remove the silent cleanup and replace it with a WARN_ON_ONCE() to
explicitly catch any transport drivers that violate this lifecycle rule
