[PATCH] NVMe: Reference count pci device

If an nvme device is removed but user space has an open reference,
the nvme driver would have been holding an invalid reference to its pci
device. You may get a general protection fault on x86 h/w when the driver
uses that reference in dma_map_sg(), as is done in nvme_map_user_pages()
from the IOCTL interface.

This patch fixes the fault by taking a reference on the pci device and
holding it even after device removal until all opens on the nvme device
are closed.
