Yeah, the problem can be triggered when removing any NS which request
queue is frozen.

It it too fragile to call freeze_queue and unfreeze_queue in different
contexts since both two should have been done in strict pair, and
meantime I don't think freezing queues in nvme_rdma_teardown_io_queues()
is needed cause quiescing is supposed to be enough for driver to recover
controller.

And I guess the following approach(rdma only) should address the issue cleanly:

This way is too violent. The current queue/device status does not mean
the controller/queue is really dead cause recovering is in in-progress,
and we should call blk_mark_disk_dead() in case that controller is confirmed
as DEAD.
