[PATCH 5.10 478/491] nvme: nvme-fc: Ensure ->ioerr_work is cancelled in nvme_fc_delete_ctrl()

commit 0a2c5495b6d1ecb0fa18ef6631450f391a888256 upstream.

nvme_fc_delete_assocation() waits for pending I/O to complete before
returning, and an error can cause ->ioerr_work to be queued after
cancel_work_sync() had been called. Move the call to cancel_work_sync() to
be after nvme_fc_delete_association() to ensure ->ioerr_work is not running
when the nvme_fc_ctrl object is freed. Otherwise the following can occur:
