Subject: [PATCH 4.19 42/75] nvme: release namespace SRCU protection before performing controller ioctls

[ Upstream commit 5fb4aac756acacf260b9ebd88747251effa3a2f2 ]

Holding the SRCU critical section protecting the namespace list can
cause deadlocks when using the per-namespace admin passthrough ioctl to
delete as namespace.  Release it earlier when performing per-controller
ioctls to avoid that.
