I see how the freeze start/stops are not paired in this scenario:
nvme_dev_disable doesn't start the freeze if the pci device isn't
disabled. It uses this to know if it is disabling the device twice.

In this test, though, you are disabling the pci device without the
driver's knowledge, so that breaks that logic. In light of that, we'll
need different criteria to know when the driver should start a freeze.
I'll test some things out and send a patch.
