[PATCH V3] nvme: fix multiple ctrl removal scheduling

From: Rakesh Pandit
Date: Fri May 26 2017 - 16:14:27 EST


Commit c5f6ce97c1210 tries to address multiple resets but fails as
work_busy doesn't involve any synchronization and can fail. This is
reproducible easily as can be seen by WARNING below which is triggered
with line:

WARN_ON(dev->ctrl.state == NVME_CTRL_RESETTING)

Allowing multiple resets can result in multiple controller removal as
well if different conditions inside nvme_reset_work fail and which
might deadlock on device_release_driver.

This patch introduces new state called NVME_CTRL_SCHED_RESET and uses
it for synchronizing work queue addition (reset_work) as state change
uses controller spinlock.
