[PATCH v3 1/3] nvme: use blk_mq_start_hw_queues() in nvme_kill_queues()

Inside nvme_kill_queues(), we have to start hw queues for
draining requests in sw queues, .dispatch list and requeue list,
so use blk_mq_start_hw_queues() instead of blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queues()
which only run queues if queues are stopped, but the queues may have
been started already, for example nvme_start_queues() is called in reset work
function.

blk_mq_start_hw_queues() run hw queues in current context, instead
of running asynchronously like before. Given nvme_kill_queues() is
run from either remove context or reset worker context, both are fine
to run hw queue directly. And the mutex of namespaces_mutex isn't a
problem too becasue nvme_start_freeze() runs hw queue in this way
already.
