Oh no! Your new teardown function is freeing the admin queue, but it
would be used immediatly after that in nvme_setup_io_queues ...

... but you'll never actually get to setup io queues because the 'result'
here is non-zero if we were successful, and is the number of queues the
controller can allocate. I think you meant to do this instead:

+	if (result < 0)
