I think we need the NVME_CTRL_SCHED_RESET state. In fact I'm pretty
sure some time in the past I already had it in a local tree as a
generalization of rdma and loop already use NVME_CTRL_RESETTING
(they set it before queueing the reset work).

But I don't fully understand how the NVME_CTRL_SCHED_RESET fix is
related to this patch?
