[PATCH V2] nvme: mark ctrl as DEAD if removing from error recovery

namespace's request queue is frozen and quiesced during error recovering,
writeback IO is blocked in bio_queue_enter(), so fsync_bdev() <- del_gendisk()
can't move on, and causes IO hang. Removal could be from sysfs, hard
unplug or error handling.

Fix this kind of issue by marking controller as DEAD if removal breaks
error recovery.

This ways is reasonable too, because controller can't be recovered any
more after being removed.
