[PATCH 2/2] nvme: start keep alive timer when enabling the controller

From: Max Gurtuvoy <maxg at mellanox.com>

We start the keep alive timer after all the I/O queues were
created, this might be too late as the controller might have
start its keep alive timer when it was enabled. Hence, start
it right after controller enable was completed.

We stop the keep alive in nvme_stop_ctrl as its before the
disable/shutdown and its independent of the transport connectivity.
