blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() waits forever because nvme_timeout() waits
for blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() to finish. Hence, the deadlock can be
solved by removing the blk_mq_quiesce_tagset() call from nvme_timeout()
and by failing I/O from inside nvme_timeout(). If nvme_timeout() fails
I/O and does not call blk_mq_quiesce_tagset() then the
blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() call will finish instead of triggering a
deadlock. However, I do not know whether this proposal seems acceptable
to the NVMe maintainers.
