[PATCH 1/1] nvme: fix use after free when disconnect a reconnecting ctrl

A crash happens when I try to disconnect a reconnecting ctrl:

1) The network was cut off when the connection was just established,
scan work hang there waiting for some IOs complete.Those IOs were
retrying because we return BLK_STS_RESOURCE to blk in reconnecting.

2) After a while, I tried to disconnect this connection.This procedure
also hung because it tried to obtain ctrl->scan_lock.It should be noted
that now we have switched the controller state to NVME_CTRL_DELETING.

3) In nvme_check_ready(), we always return true when ctrl->state is 
NVME_CTRL_DELETING, so those retrying IOs were issued to the bottom 
device which was already freed.

To fix this, when ctrl->state is NVME_CTRL_DELETING, issue cmd to bottom
device only when queue state is live.If not, return host path error to blk.
