[PATCH] nvme: avoid NULL pointer dereference in error recovery path

It's possible that driver fails to recover from a PCI error and the
PCI core (or arch PCI specifics, like EEH in PowerPC) starts a process
of device removal. While this removal process is happening, if another
PCI error is triggered, we might have a NULL address for
"struct *nvme_dev", pointed by "pci_dev *driver_data" - for example this
happens if nvme_remove() already have set that pci_dev struct's field
to NULL.
In this case, the driver error handler functions will dereferece a NULL
pointer, causing a kernel oops. This patch checks for NULL pointer on
error handlers and in case "driver_data" points to NULL, it aborts the
error recovery path and return a fail error value to PCI core.
Also, the patch "standardize" the use of "pci_dev dev" as pointer to
"struct device", instead of "nvme_dev->nvme_ctrl.device".
