Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 43/59] nvme: Prevent resets during paused controller state

From: Keith Busch <kbusch@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 4c75f877853cfa81b12374a07208e07b077f39b8 ]

A paused controller is doing critical internal activation work in the
background. Prevent subsequent controller resets from occurring during
this period by setting the controller state to RESETTING first. A helper
function, nvme_try_sched_reset_work(), is introduced for these paths so
they may continue with scheduling the reset_work after they've completed
their uninterruptible critical section.
