[PATCH] nvme: avoid missing db ring during reset

[Linjun Bao <meljbao@gmail.com>]

During nvme reset, there is a rare case, when user admin cmd such
as smart-log and nvme_admin_create_sq from nvme_setup_io_queues
happen to in the same blk_mq dispatch list, and the user cmd is
the last one. nvme_admin_create_sq is dispatched first in
nvme_queue_rq(), nvme_write_sq_db() is called but immediately
returns without writing the doorbell because it's not masked
"last". The subsequent smart-log ioctl fails fast hitting
nvme_fail_nonready_cmd(), skipping both nvme_sq_copy_cmd() and
nvme_write_sq_db(), so no doorbell write ever occurs. The
nvme_admin_create_sq fails timeout finally.

The proposal is that do not treat user admin cmd during
RECONNECTING as non-ready, through it to the drive, thus no
doorbell missing happens in case above.
