[PATCH] nvme: ensure reset state check ordering

From: Keith Busch <kbusch at kernel.org>

A different CPU may be setting the ctrl->state value while flushing the
reset work, so ensure proper barriers to prevent reading a stale state.
Reading the wrong state can report unexpected ENETRESET errors when
everything was successful.
