Oh you're right, but I think the idea was to use the queue associated
with the cpu, though the code was clearly broken before.

-	return nvme_submit_sync_cmd(dev, smp_processor_id() + 1, cmd, result,
+	return nvme_submit_sync_cmd(dev, this_cpu_read(*dev->io_queues), cmd, result,
  							NVME_IO_TIMEOUT);
