We also need to add the new NVME_SCHED_RESET state as a valid old_state
transition to NVME_CTRL_DELETING.

Just going through a hypothetical scenario: let's say a user requests
an orderly removal of a device through sysfs. The the controller happens
to fail after del_gendisk is called, and commands timeout, triggering a
reset.

Today, the reset work will consider the controller dead and kill the
nvme queues to force all new IO to fail immediately.

With this change, the reset work won't get to run, so nothing will get
to kill the queues. The driver will be stuck at del_gendisk.

Something like the following will fix that for pci:
