This does wonders when nvme_reset_ctrl_sync() returns in a timely
manner. I was also able to get the nvme drive in a state where
nvme_reset_ctrl_sync() does not return. Then we end up with the device
lock in report_slot_reset, which, as you may imagine, is not a great thing.

I think this step is a move in the better direction, but we still have
problems.
