[PATCH 2/3] nvme-tcp: fix possible hang when trying to set a live path during I/O

[Sagi Grimberg <sagi@grimberg.me>]

When we teardown a controller we first freeze the queue to prevent
request submissions, and quiesce the queue to prevent request queueing
and we only unfreeze/unquiesce when we successfully reconnect a
controller.

In case we attempt to set a live path (optimized/non-optimized) and
update the current_path reference, we first need to wait for any
ongoing dispatches (synchronize the head->srcu).

However bio submissions _can_ block as the underlying controller queue
is frozen. which creates the below deadlock [1]. So it is clear that
the namespaces request queue must be unfrozen and unquiesced asap when
we teardown the controller.

However, when we are not in a multipath environment (!multipath or cmic
indicates ns isn't shared) we don't want to fail-fast the I/O, hence we
must keep the namespaces request queue frozen and quiesced and only
expire them when the controller successfully reconnects (and FAILFAST
may fail the I/O sooner).

Fix this by looking into the newly introduced nvme_ctrl_is_mpath and
unquiesce/unfreeze the namespaces request queues accordingly (in
the teardown for mpath and after a successful reconnect for non-mpath).

Also, we no longer need the explicit nvme_start_queues in the error
recovery work.
