[PATCH 2/2] nvme: Fix subsystem multiple controllers support check

From: Israel Rukshin <israelr at mellanox.com>

There is a problem when another module (e.g. nvmet) takes
a refcount on the nvme block device and the physical nvme drive is removed.
In that case nvme_free_ctrl() will not be called and the controller state
will be "deleting" or "dead" unless nvmet module releases the block device.
Later on, the same nvme drive probes back and nvme_init_subsystem() will be
called and fail due to duplicate subnqn (if the nvme device doesn't support
subsystem with multiple controllers). This will cause a probe failure.
This commit changes the check of multiple controllers support at
nvme_init_subsystem() by not counting all the controllers at "dead" or
"deleting" state (this is safe because controllers at this state will never
be active again).

Fixes: ab9e00cc72fa ("nvme: track subsystems")
