PCI: quirks: Fix out-of-bounds MMIO read in nvme_disable_and_flr()

This commit fixes an out-of-bounds MMIO read in nvme_disable_and_flr() by
increasing the mapped area size to include the NVME_REG_CSTS register.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this function properly handle PCI
device disconnects?

If a PCIe device drops off the bus or encounters a fatal error, MMIO reads
such as readl(bar + NVME_REG_CC) will return 0xFFFFFFFF. Because 0xFFFFFFFF
passes the cfg & NVME_CC_ENABLE check, the code will erroneously enter this
block.

It will then read 0xFFFFFFFF from NVME_REG_CAP, resulting in a maximum
timeout of 128 seconds. The loop continuously reads 0xFFFFFFFF for
NVME_REG_CSTS, which fails the NVME_CSTS_RDY check, causing the kernel
thread to sleep for 100ms in a loop for the full 128 seconds.

Could this cause system management threads like VFIO teardown or PCI hotplug
workers to stall?
