[PATCH 4/5] nvme: requeue namespace scan on missed AENs

From: Hannes Reinecke <hare at suse.de>

Scanning for namespaces can take some time, so if the target is
reconfigured while the scan is running we will miss the AEN.
So check if the NVME_AER_NOTICE_NS_CHANGED bit is set once the scan is
finished, and requeue scanning to pick up any missed changes.
