[PATCH rfc 2/4] nvme: improve quiesce for blocking queues

nvme transports that use blocking hw queues (e.g. nvme-tcp) currently
will synchronize queue quiesce for each namespace at once. This can
slow down failover time (which first quiesce all ns queues) if we have
a large amount of namespaces. Instead, we want to use an async interface
and do the namespaces quiesce in parallel rather than serially.

Introduce nvme_stop_blocking_queues for transports that use blocking
hw queues and convert nvme-tcp to use the new interface.
