There is race between nvme_remove and nvme_reset_work that can
lead to io hang.

nvme_remove                    nvme_reset_work
-> change state to DELETING
                               -> fail to change state to LIVE
                               -> nvme_remove_dead_ctrl
                                 -> nvme_dev_disable
                                   -> quiesce request_queue
                                 -> queue remove_work
-> cancel_work_sync reset_work
-> nvme_remove_namespaces
  -> splice ctrl->namespaces
                               nvme_remove_dead_ctrl_work
                               -> nvme_kill_queues
  -> nvme_ns_remove               do nothing
    -> blk_cleanup_queue
      -> blk_freeze_queue
Finally, the request_queue is quiesced state when wait freeze,
we will get io hang here.

To fix it, unquiesce the request_queue directly before nvme_ns_remove.
We have spliced the ctrl->namespaces, so nobody could access them
and quiesce the queue any more.
