[PATCH v2 RFC 6/6] nvme-core: fix deadlock in disconnect during scan_work and/or ana_work

From: Anton Eidelman <anton at lightbitslabs.com>

A deadlock happens in the following scenario with multipath:
1) scan_work(nvme0) detects a new nsid while nvme0
    is an optimized path to it, path nvme1 happens to be
    inaccessible.

2) Before scan_work is complete nvme0 disconnect is initiated
    nvme_delete_ctrl_sync() sets nvme0 state to NVME_CTRL_DELETING

3) scan_work(1) attempts to submit IO,
    but nvme_path_is_optimized() observes nvme0 is not LIVE.
    Since nvme1 is a possible path IO is requeued and scan_work hangs.

4) Delete also hangs in flush_work(ctrl->scan_work)
    from nvme_remove_namespaces().

Similiarly a deadlock with ana_work may happen: if ana_work has started
and calls nvme_mpath_set_live and device_add_disk, it will
trigger I/O. When we trigger disconnect I/O will block because
our accessible (optimized) path is disconnecting, but the alternate
path is inaccessible, so I/O blocks. Then disconnect tries to flush
the ana_work and hangs.

Fix: disconnect sets ctrl->abort_scan_and_ana that prevents any further
scan_work or ana_work activation and flushes them before setting the ctrl
state to NVME_CTRL_DELETING.
