[PATCH V2 0/2] nvme-pci: fix the timeout case when reset is ongoing

Hello

NVME_CTRL_RESETTING used to indicate the range of nvme initializing
strictly in fd634f41(nvme: merge probe_work and reset_work), but it
is not now. The NVME_CTRL_RESETTING is set before queue the
reset_work, there could be a big gap before the reset work handles
the outstanding requests. So when the NVME_CTRL_RESETTING is set,
nvme_timeout will not only meet the admin requests from the
initializing procedure, but also the IO and admin requests from
previous work before nvme_dev_disable is invoked.

To fix this, based on Christoph's suggestion, splits the
NVME_CTRL_RESETTING into NVME_CTRL_RESET_PREPARE
and NVME_CTRL_RESETTING. Before queue the reset work, changes state
to NVME_CTRL_RESET_PREPARE, after disable work completes, changes
state to NVME_CTRL_RESETTING. Then we could distinguish the different
requests and handle them separately. More details, please refer to
the comment of the 2nd patch.


V2:
 - split NVME_CTRL_RESETTING into NVME_CTRL_RESET_PREPARE and
   NVME_CTRL_RESETTING. Introduce new patch based on this.
 - distinguish the requests based on the new state in nvme_timeout
 - change comments of patch
