[PATCHv2 1/5] nvme: fix lockdep warning in nvme_mpath_clear_current_path

[Johannes Thumshirn]

When running blktest's nvme/005 with a lockdep enabled kernel the test
case fails due to the following lockdep splat in dmesg:

The only caller of nvme_mpath_clear_current_path() is nvme_ns_remove()
which holds the subsys lock so it's likely a false positive, but when
using rcu_access_pointer(), we're telling rcu and lockdep that we're
only after the pointer falue.
