It turns out, the same happens with TCP as transport. I've got two
connection configured and block traffic on the target side with
iptables rules. This is what I see

I think all transport handle the unfreezing incorrectly in the
recovering path. At least for TCP and FC I could test this. I don't have
and RDMA setup but this code looks suspiciously the same.. I think the
nvme_unfreeze() needs to be called always not just in the case where the
number of queues change.
