There still is now an imbalance, as we're always calling

call 'nvme_start_freeze()' if we have more than one queue.

This might lead to an imbalance on the mq_freeze_depth counter.
Wouldn't it be better to move the call to 'nvme_start_freeze()' out of
the if() condition to avoid the imbalance?

What about something like nmve_is_frozen() which would avoid the tracking
of the queue state open coded as it is right?

Why is there a conditional freeze?
