From: Chunguang Xu <chunguang.xu at shopee.com>

We found that nvme_remove_namespaces() may hang in flush_work(&ctrl->scan_work)
while removing ctrl. The root cause may due to the state of ctrl changed to
NVME_CTRL_DELETING while removing ctrl , which intterupt nvme_tcp_error_recovery_work()/
nvme_reset_ctrl_work()/nvme_tcp_reconnect_or_remove().  At this time, ctrl is
freezed and queue is quiescing . Since scan_work may continue to issue IOs to
load partition table, make it blocked, and lead to nvme_tcp_error_recovery_work()
hang in flush_work(&ctrl->scan_work).

After analyzation, we found that there are mainly two case: 
1. Since ctrl is freeze, scan_work hang in __bio_queue_enter() while it issue
   new IO to load partition table.
2. Since queus is quiescing, requeue timeouted IO may hang in hctx->dispatch
   queue, leading scan_work waiting for IO completion.

Here try to fix this issue by make sure ctrl is unfreezed and queue is quiescing
while exit from error recovery or reset.

Chunguang Xu (4):
  nvme: unfreeze while exit from recovery or resetting
  nvme: donot retry request for NVME_CTRL_DELETING_NOIO
  nvme: optimize nvme_check_ready() for NVME_CTRL_DELETING_NOIO
  nvme-tcp: remove admin_q quiescing from nvme_tcp_teardown_io_queues
