I think the original reason for this was to avoid lock order dependencies
and/or deadlocks, I wish I would have documented that better. Looking at
the current version __nvmet_rdma_queue_disconnect I can't find any
obvious problem, but rdma_disconnect is a bit of a block box from
the driver POV. Did you test this extensively with lockdep enabled?

Nit: overly long line here. Maybe just rename tmp to n?
