It's a debug aid. I'm finding all the transitions spit out messages
saying controller is deleting, which makes the admin think it's deleted.
But what really happened was the delete calls were made to the core
routines, but those routines are getting hung up in ns teardown. So
admins are reporting things as "deleted" when they really aren't yet.
This message just book-ends the initial deleting messages.
it could certainly go in the core nvme_free_ctrl() call before it calls
the transport free routine.
