Okay, I see what you're saying. That's a pretty obscure case, as normally
we enter nvme_reset_work with the queues already disabled, but there
are a few cases where we need nvme_reset_work to handle that.

But if we are in that case, I think we really just want to sync the
queues. What do you think of this?
