[PATCHv2 1/3] Revert "nvme: make keep-alive synchronous operation"

This reverts commit d06923670b5a5f609603d4a9fee4dec02d38de9c.
This reverts commit 599d9f3a10eec69ef28a90161763e4bd7c9c02bf.

It was realized that the fix implemented to avoid the race
condition between 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 regression caused
due to the changes implemented in commit a54a93d0e359 ("nvme: move
stopping keep-alive into nvme_uninit_ctrl()"). So we decided to
first revert the commit d06923670b5a ("nvme: make keep-alive
synchronous operation") and commit 599d9f3a10ee ("nvme: use helper
nvme_ctrl_state in nvme_keep_alive_finish function") and then fix
the regression.
