[PATCH V4 2/5] nvme: add helper interface to flush in-flight requests

Currently, we use nvme_cancel_request to complete the request
forcedly. This has following defects:
 - It is not safe to race with the normal completion path.
   blk_mq_complete_request is ok to race with timeout path,
   but not with itself.
 - Cannot ensure all the requests have been handled. The timeout
   path may grab some expired requests, blk_mq_complete_request
   cannot touch them.

add two helper interface to flush in-flight requests more safely.
- nvme_abort_requests_sync
use nvme_abort_req to timeout all the in-flight requests and wait
until timeout work and irq completion path completes. More details
please refer to the comment of this interface.
- nvme_flush_aborted_requests
complete the requests 'aborted' by nvme_abort_requests_sync. It will
be invoked after the controller is disabled/shutdown.
