[PATCH 2/2] nvme: avoid to hang in remove disk

If some writeback requests are submitted just before queue is killed,
and these requests may not be canceled in nvme_dev_disable() because
they are not started yet, it is still possible for blk-mq to hold
these requests in .requeue list.

So we have to abort these requests first before del_gendisk(), because
del_gendisk() may wait for completion of these requests.
