No, this issue has not been seen yet. 

Since blk_mq_run_hw_queue tests queue stopped in the very beginning. It should be possible to race with nvme_dev_disable.

I agree that the request shall be re-queued.

Does this ever happen? The queue should be stopped before the bar is unmapped. If that's insufficient to guard against this, we've another problem this patch does not cover. That command will just timeout since it was accepted by the driver, but not actually submitted to anything. The request needs to be requeued or return BLK_MQ_RQ_QUEUE_BUSY.
