Adding linux-pci to the Cc list.  NVMe only clears the driver data
in the ->remove callback, so the trace below looks very odd.  That
being said the issue of PCIe error handling synchronization came
up before and I think we really need to figure out a way to synchronize
the error methods with ->probe / ->remove.  In this case it might have
been the call to device_release_driver from nvme_remove_dead_ctrl_work,
but either way we need something that properly synchronized the
PCIe calls.

Pandit: can you throw a printk into nvme_remove_dead_ctrl_work and
see if it gets called just before you see the NULL pointer dereference?
