From: Keith Busch <kbusch at kernel.org>

This function wants to move a subset of a list from one element to the
tail into another list. It also needs to use the srcu synchronize
instead of the regular rcu version. Do this one element at a time
because that's the only to do it.

Fixes: be647e2c76b27f4 ("nvme: use srcu for iterating namespace list")

It would be neat to have a more elegant helper that we've been messing
with, and be able to use a single srcu synchronize, but in the interest
of time, this patch will fix the regression.

I was hoping to not have per-ns srcu sync's, but this path pretty
much only gets called on the last namespace anyway, so it should
functionally work out to be a single sync without to optimizations.
