[PATCH V5 2/2] nvme-pci: fixup the timeout case when reset is ongoing

Look at the following scenario.
nvme_reset_ctrl
  -> set state to RESETTING
  -> queue reset_work
     (scheduling)
nvme_reset_work
  -> nvme_dev_disable
    -> quiesce queues
    -> nvme_cancel_request
       on outstanding requests
    -> set state to RECONNECTING
    -> nvme initializing
       (will issue request on adminq)
A request could expire after the ctrl state is set to RESETTING
and queue the reset_work.
 - If the timeout occurs before state RECONNECTING, the expired
   requests are from the previous work.
 - Otherwise, the expired requests are from the controller
   initializing procedure, such as sending cq/sq create commands
   to adminq to setup io queues.
In current implementation, nvme_timeout only handles second case
above.

To fix this, when the state is RESETTING, handle the expired
requests as nvme_cancel_request, when the state is RECONNECTING,
handle it as the original method and discard the nvme_dev_disable
there, the nvme_reset_work will see the error and invoke itself.
