[PATCH v6 14/18] nvme-fc: Use CCR to recover controller that hits an error

An alive nvme controller that hits an error now will move to FENCING
state instead of RESETTING state. ctrl->fencing_work attempts CCR to
terminate inflight IOs. Regardless of the success or failure of CCR
operation the controller is transitioned to RESETTING state to continue
error recovery process.
