Yes. Will do in V3.

Taking it consideration Keith's suggestion of using new state makes
things better so V3 wouldn't touch RESETTING state.

Will keep.

Not replacing it seems better as nvme_reset is always called if
nvme_should_reset returns true and takes care of synchrozation.
Replacing it wouldn't make it possible to use same logic in nvme_reset
as nvme_reset would always be called after.
