[PATCH V4 2/2] nvme-pci: fix the timeout case when reset is ongoing

There could be request timeout when the reset is ongoing.
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. These
requests should be handled separately.

We could distinguish them through the ctrl->state.
If the state is NVME_CTRL_RESET_PREPARE,  handle the expried
requests as nvme_cancel_request.
If the state is NVME_CTRL_RESETTING, the requests should be
from the initializing procedure. Handle them as before. Because the
nvme_reset_work will see the error and disable the dev itself, so
discard the nvme_dev_disable here.
