Subject: [GIT PULL] NVMe fix for 4.7

Hi Linus,

Late addition here, it's basically a revert of a patch that was added in
this merge window, but has proven to cause problems. This is swapping
out the RCU based namespace protection with a good old mutex instead.
Does not cause merge conflicts with my 4.8 branch, so should not give us
any issues there either.

Please pull!
