[PATCH] nvme: block ioctls if controller not in a live state

[James Smart]

Rather than allow ioctl-based admin cmds to get intermixed on the admin
queue with commands being used to initialize a controller or io commands
to go to a controller in reconnect thus possibly hanging, reject them
if the controller isn't in the LIVE state. Reject with an -EAGAIN status
so that the app knows it could retry.
