Motly that we can treat a controller as under reset before scheduling
the reset work, both to prevent multiple schedules, and to make
checks like the one in nvme_should_reset robus.

But I think something along the lines of the earlier patch from
Rakesh that just sets the RESETTING state earlier + the cancel_work_sync
suggested by you should also work for that purpose.  So maybe that's
the way to go after all.
