Subject: [PATCH 5.15 281/917] nvme: drop scan_lock and always kick requeue list when removing namespaces

From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@...e.de>

[ Upstream commit 2b81a5f015199f3d585ce710190a9e87714d3c1e ]

When reading the partition table on initial scan hits an I/O error the
I/O will hang with the scan_mutex held:

[<0>] do_read_cache_page+0x49b/0x790
[<0>] read_part_sector+0x39/0xe0
[<0>] read_lba+0xf9/0x1d0
[<0>] efi_partition+0xf1/0x7f0
[<0>] bdev_disk_changed+0x1ee/0x550
[<0>] blkdev_get_whole+0x81/0x90
[<0>] blkdev_get_by_dev+0x128/0x2e0
[<0>] device_add_disk+0x377/0x3c0
[<0>] nvme_mpath_set_live+0x130/0x1b0 [nvme_core]
[<0>] nvme_mpath_add_disk+0x150/0x160 [nvme_core]
[<0>] nvme_alloc_ns+0x417/0x950 [nvme_core]
[<0>] nvme_validate_or_alloc_ns+0xe9/0x1e0 [nvme_core]
[<0>] nvme_scan_work+0x168/0x310 [nvme_core]
[<0>] process_one_work+0x231/0x420

and trying to delete the controller will deadlock as it tries to grab
the scan mutex:

[<0>] nvme_mpath_clear_ctrl_paths+0x25/0x80 [nvme_core]
[<0>] nvme_remove_namespaces+0x31/0xf0 [nvme_core]
[<0>] nvme_do_delete_ctrl+0x4b/0x80 [nvme_core]

As we're now properly ordering the namespace list there is no need to
hold the scan_mutex in nvme_mpath_clear_ctrl_paths() anymore.
And we always need to kick the requeue list as the path will be marked
as unusable and I/O will be requeued _without_ a current path.
