On a sidenote: This issue could be reproduced (where we find passthru target namespeace being 
ignored on the host due to duplicate IDs) using blktest nvme/033. I have a system with NVMe disk
which supports NVMe spec 1.3. On this system, when I run this blktest I can always reproduce 
this issue:

# nvme list -v

nvme/033 => nvme0n1 (tr=loop) (create and connect to an NVMeOF target with a passthru controller)

Here, the above blktest hangs indefinitely. 

And the relevant kernel logs:
# dmesg
nvmet: creating nvm controller 1 for subsystem blktests-subsystem-1 for NQN nqn.2014-08.org.nvmexpress:uuid:0f01fb42-9f7f-4856-b0b3-51e60b8de349.

nvme nvme1: VID:144d model:1.6TB NVMe Gen4 U.2 SSD firmware:REV.SN49
nvme nvme1: ignoring nsid 1 because of duplicate IDs

I have another system using an NVMe disk supporting NVMe spec 1.2 and on this system, running 
the above test would PASS.

Moreover, I think we should fix the blktest nvme/033 so that it would bail out 
after some time instead of hanging indefinitely. Also we don't have an nvme-cli 
command which supports ns-id descriptor list command. We may also want to add 
support of this new command in nvme-cli? 

Thanks,
