[PATCHv3 1/2] Revert "nvme: make keep-alive synchronous operation"

[Nilay Shroff]

This reverts commit d06923670b5a5f609603d4a9fee4dec02d38de9c.

It was realized that the fix implemented to contain the race condition
among the keep alive task and the fabric shutdown code path in the
commit d06923670b5ia ("nvme: make keep-alive synchronous operation")
is not optimal.

We also found that the above race condition is a regression caused due
to the changes implemented in commit a54a93d0e359 ("nvme: move stopping
keep-alive into nvme_uninit_ctrl()"). So we decided to revert the commit
d06923670b5a ("nvme: make keep-alive synchronous operation") and then
fix the regression.
