nvme: hung task in blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait

We are running into hung tasks in blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait, sometimes
in nvme_reset_work and sometimes in nvme_scan_work.
In some cases we also see a warning in blk_mq_unfreeze_queue
(WARN_ON_ONCE(q->mq_freeze_depth < 0)):
WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 152 at block/blk-mq.c:199 blk_mq_unfreeze_queue+0x26/0x5a
The hung tasks are preceded by two instances of nvme_timeout racing in
nvme_dev_disable after a device becomes unresponsive.
The first nvme_dev_disable blocks in wait_for_completion_io_timeout, and
a while later a second instance blocks in mutex_lock(&dev->shutdown_lock).
When the timeout expires and the first instance releases the mutex,
the two instances start racing.
We have seen the hung tasks in 4.19, but from a quick look at the
latest 6.1 code the issue is probably there as well.
There seem to be two different scenarios where unbalanced
blk_freeze_queue_start/blk_mq_unfreeze_queue could be the cause.
1) In this case we have an unfreeze without a corresponding freeze
preceding it.

queue_work(nvme_reset_work)
nvme_unfreeze (matches
nvme_start_freeze in
TIMEOUT 1)
nvme_reset_work
nvme_unfreeze (no
match in TIMEOUT 2)
2) In this case a freeze has no corresponding unfreeze following it.
TIMEOUT 2 cannot schedule nvme_reset_work because TIMEOUT 1's is already
scheduled but not yet running.

queue_work(nvme_reset_work)
fails because nvme_reset_work
is not running yet

nvme_unfreeze (matches

It gets never
scheduled.
Following is one such backtrace.
