Sorry, I forgot the requirement to be compatible with bash 4.2.

Just the fact that the code looks simpler and more elegant.

Side note: as we know that _nvme_get_ctrl_list() prints paths from
sysfs, and that these won't contain spaces or glob characters, we might
as well just ignore SC2207 here.

Anyway, I agree that it's better to be on the safe side.
I'll send a new version.
