Keith think keeping the controller alive for diagnose is better.
This is the patch which failed the connection.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvme/20210223072602.3196-1-lengchao@huawei.com/

Now we have 2 choice:
1.failed the connection when unable to set any I/O queues.
2.do not allow queue request when queue is not live.

 From a service continuity perspective, I think it is better that failed
the connection when unable to set any I/O queues.
Diagnose is less important, I prefer service continuity, because if failed
the reconnection and then try new reconnection, it is possible to recover.
