[RFC PATCH 2/3] nvme-pci: make completion queue polling softirq-safe

A following patch processes interrupt-driven completion queues from
IRQ_POLL_SOFTIRQ. Ensure every task-context user disables bottom halves
while holding cq_poll_lock so the softirq cannot interrupt the local
owner.

This includes explicit blk-mq polling. Those queues do not use irq_poll,
but all cq_poll_lock instances share one lockdep class because they are
initialized at the same call site. Keep that class consistently
softirq-safe rather than reclassifying reused queue objects across reset.
