[PATCH] nvme-multipath: call del_gendisk() in nvme_mpath_check_last_path()

We cannot call del_gendisk() during the final nvme_put_ns_head(), as
this might be called from blkdev_put(). Doing so will deadlock on bd_mutex():

[ 1108.529767]  __mutex_lock.constprop.0+0x2a4/0x470
[ 1108.534472]  ? __kernfs_remove.part.0+0x174/0x1f0
[ 1108.539178]  ? kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x5c/0x90
[ 1108.543885]  del_gendisk+0x99/0x230
[ 1108.547378]  nvme_mpath_remove_disk+0x97/0xb0 [nvme_core]
[ 1108.552787]  nvme_put_ns_head+0x2a/0xb0 [nvme_core]
[ 1108.557664]  __blkdev_put+0x115/0x160
[ 1108.561339]  blkdev_put+0x4c/0x130
[ 1108.564745]  blkdev_close+0x22/0x30
[ 1108.568238]  __fput+0x94/0x240

So call 'del_gendisk()' when checking if the last path has been removed
to avoid this deadlock.
