[PATCH v2] nvme: check for valid data from from nvme_identify_ns() before using it

When scanning namespaces, it is possible to get valid data from the first
call to nvme_identify_ns() in nvme_alloc_ns(), but not from the second
call in nvme_update_ns_info_block().  In particular, if the NSID becomes
inactive between the two commands, a storage device may return a buffer
filled with zero as per 4.1.5.1.  In this case, we can get a kernel crash
due to a divide-by-zero in blk_stack_limits() because ns->lba_shift will
be set to zero.

This happened when the check for valid data was moved out of nvme_identify_ns()
into one of the callers.  Fix this by checking in both callers.
