[PATCH for-4.5 11/13] NVMe: Dead namespace handling

[Sagi Grimberg]

This sorta going towards a namespace state machine (like scsi). Maybe
we need to centralize it correctly instead of adding states that are
relevant is sporadic areas?

I can't say I'm a fan of doing all this in queue_rq...

besides why is this state check under the cq_vector < 0 condition?
This is really confusing...
