[PATCH v2 2/2] nvme: handle persistent internal error AER from NVMe controller

[Michael Kelley]

In the NVM Express Revision 1.4 spec, Figure 145 describes possible
values for an AER with event type "Error" (value 000b). For a
Persistent Internal Error (value 03h), the host should perform a
controller reset.

Add support for this error using code that already exists for
doing a controller reset in response to a request timeout.

This new support was tested in a lab environment where we can
generate the persistent internal error on demand, and observe
both the Linux side and NVMe controller side to see that the
controller reset has been done.
