Hi Daniel,

Taking a different approach than this patch set, may we see if the
following singular patch resolves the nvme/041 blktest?

[PATCH 1/1] nvme-fabrics: add ENOKEY to no retry criteria for
authentication failures

With authentication, in addition to EKEYREJECTED there is also no point in
retrying reconnects when status is ENOKEY.  Thus, add -ENOKEY as another
criteria to determine when to stop retries.
