[PATCHv2 1/3] nvme: Remove RCU namespace protection

We can't block with RCU read lock held, but we need to do potentially
blocking stuff to namespaces while traversing the list.

This patch removes the rcu read locking to make this work, and leverages
how namespace list manipulation currently occurs in order to be safe. Only
scan work, reset work, or device removal can manipulate the namespace
list, and none of those can execute at the same time. So, this patch
locks the namespace list mutex only when the list is being changed,
or when iterating the list by a non-IO task, like controller reset. We
can't hold the lock for IO because we won't be able to clean up IO
if it fails, so all those paths rely on the state machine to prevent
two tasks from corrupting the list.

Since the scanning occurs unlocked, nvme_find_ns is updated to take
a reference on found namespaces, and the function name is updated to
reflect the new action.

This fixes these two BUGs:

v1 -> v2:
  Take a reference on the namespace if we find it. Not necessary in
  existing namespace scanning usage, but is safe for potential future
  changes.
