[PATCH] NVMe: increase depth of admin queue

Hi,

Usually the admin queue depth of 64 is plenty, but for some use cases we
really need it larger. Examples are use cases like MAT, where you have
to touch all of NAND for init/format like purposes. In those cases, we
see a good 2x increase with an increased queue depth.
