Bitao Hu 839a40d1e7 nvme: fix deadlock between reset and scan
If controller reset occurs when allocating namespace, both
nvme_reset_work and nvme_scan_work will hang, as shown below.

Test Scripts:

    for ((t=1;t<=128;t++))
    do
    nsid=`nvme create-ns /dev/nvme1 -s 14537724 -c 14537724 -f 0 -m 0 \
    -d 0 | awk -F: '{print($NF);}'`
    nvme attach-ns /dev/nvme1 -n $nsid -c 0
    done
    nvme reset /dev/nvme1

We will find that both nvme_reset_work and nvme_scan_work hung:

    "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this

The reason for the hang is that nvme_reset_work occurs while nvme_scan_work
is still running. nvme_scan_work may add new ns into ctrl->namespaces
list after nvme_reset_work frozen all ns->q in ctrl->namespaces list.
The newly added ns is not frozen, so nvme_wait_freeze will wait forever.
Unfortunately, ctrl->namespaces_rwsem is held by nvme_reset_work, so
nvme_scan_work will also wait forever. Now we are deadlocked!

    nvme_alloc_ns                    blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait
     down_write

Fix by marking the ctrl with say NVME_CTRL_FROZEN flag set in
nvme_start_freeze and cleared in nvme_unfreeze. Then the scan can check
it before adding the new namespace (under the namespaces_rwsem).

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
