[PATCH V2] nvme: fix multiple ctrl removal scheduling

Commit c5f6ce97c1210 tries to address multiple resets but fails as
work_busy doesn't involve any synchronization and can fail.  This is
reproducible easily as can be seen by WARNING below which is triggered
with line:

WARN_ON(dev->ctrl.state == NVME_CTRL_RESETTING)

Allowing multiple resets can result in multiple controller removal as
well if different conditions inside nvme_reset_work fail and which
might deadlock on device_release_driver.

This patch addresses the problem by using state of controller to
decide whether reset should be queued or not as state change is
synchronizated using controller spinlock.  Also cancel_work_sync is
used to make sure remove cancels the reset_work and waits for it to
finish.  This patch also changes return value from -ENODEV to more
appropriate -EBUSY if nvme_reset fails to change state.

V2: 1. Use cancel_work_sync instead of introducing new state (Sagi)
    2. Skip using NVME_CTRL_SCHED_RESET state (Sagi)
V1: nvme_probe set RESETTING state and check for NVME_CTRL_RESETTING
    state in nvme_should_reset instead of work_busy (hch)
