[ Upstream commit da42761181627e9bdc37d18368b827948a583929 ]

In nvme_alloc_admin_tags, the admin_q can be set to an error (typically
-ENOMEM) if the blk_mq_init_queue call fails to set up the queue, which
is checked immediately after the call. However, when we return the error
message up the stack, to nvme_reset_work the error takes us to
nvme_remove_dead_ctrl()
nvme_dev_disable()
nvme_suspend_queue(&dev->queues[0]).

Here, we only check that the admin_q is non-NULL, rather than not
an error or NULL, and begin quiescing a queue that never existed, leading
to bad / NULL pointer dereference.
