[PATCHv2] nvme-multipath: sysfs links may not be created for devices

When rapidly rescanning for new namespaces nvme_mpath_add_sysfs_link() may be
called for a block device not added to sysfs. But NVME_NS_SYSFS_ATTR_LINK
had already been set, so when checking this device a second time we will fail
to create the link.
Fix this by exchanging the order of the block device check and the
NVME_NS_SYSFS_ATTR_LINK bit check.
Fixes: 4dbd2b2ebe4c ("nvme-multipath: Add visibility for round-robin io-policy")
