[PATCH] nvme: core: freeze multipath queue early in nvme_update_ns_info()

For multipath devices, nvme_update_ns_info() needs to freeze both
the queue of the path and the queue of the multipath device. For
both operations, it waits for one RCU grace period to pass, ~25ms
on my test system. By calling blk_freeze_queue_start() for the
multipath queue early, we avoid waiting twice; tests using ftrace
have shown that the second blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() call finishes
in just a few microseconds. The path queue is unfrozen before
calling blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() on the multipath queue, so that
possibly outstanding IO in the multipath queue can be flushed.

I tested this using the "controller rescan under I/O load" test
I submitted recently [1].
