Nak, NVMe only iterates tags when new requests can't enter, allocated
requests can't dispatch, and dispatched commands can't complete. So
it is perfectly safe to iterate if the driver takes reasonable steps
beforehand. Further, for M tags and N namespaces, we complete teardown
in O(M) time, but this makes in O(M*N) without gaining anything.
