Subject: [PATCH] NVMe: Avoid interrupt disable during queue init.

Avoid diabling interrupt and holding q_lock for the queue
which is just getting initialized.

With this change, online_queues is also incremented without
lock during queue setup stage.
if Power management nvme_suspend() kicks in during queue setup time,
per nvmeq based q_lock spinlock cannot protect device wide
online_queues variable anyway.
