[PATCH 1/2] nvme-tcp: start error recovery when read_sock fails

From: Martin Belanger <martin.belanger at dell.com>

nvme_tcp_recv_skb() disables the queue and starts error recovery on any
errors. But if the transport encounters an error before ->read_sock()
is called (and hence before nvme_tcp_recv_skb() is called) no further
action is taken. This causes nvme_tcp_io_work() to stall until a command
times out.

This patch checks for any error returned from ->read_sock(), and starts
error recovery when the queue is still enabled (ie if nvme_tcp_recv_skb()
has not detected the error).
