Geliang Tang d681107420 nvme-multipath: fix suspicious RCU usage warning
When I run the NVME over TCP test in virtme-ng, I get the following
"suspicious RCU usage" warning in nvme_mpath_add_sysfs_link():

This patch uses sleepable RCU version of helper list_for_each_entry_srcu()
instead of list_for_each_entry_rcu() to fix it.

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 reStructuredText 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.
