[PATCH V2 1/1] nvme: fix multiple ctrl removal scheduling

Commit c5f6ce97c1210 tries to address multiple resets but fails as
work_busy doesn't involve any synchronization and can fail.  This is
reproducible easily as can be seen by WARNING below which is triggered
with line:

WARN_ON(dev->ctrl.state == NVME_CTRL_RESETTING)

Allowing multiple resets can result in multiple controller removal as
well if different conditions inside nvme_reset_work fail and which
might deadlock on device_release_driver.

This patch makes sure that work queue item (reset_work) is added only
if controller state != NVME_CTRL_RESETTING and that is achieved by
moving state change outside nvme_reset_work into nvme_reset and
removing old work_busy call.  State change is always synchronizated
using controller spinlock.
