As far I can tell, the blktests test I am using will trigger the same
bug. The problem is that the lifetime of hwmon sysfs entry should be
aligned to the lifetime of the nvme sysfs entry. Currently, hwmon's
lifetime is bound to the lifetime of the ctl sysfs entry. When the nvme
entry goes away (and obviously also the underlying device), the hwmon
sysfs entry still references it.
