Subject: regression on aarch64? panic on boot

Hi,

I'm getting panics when booting from a QEMU hw/nvme device on an aarch64
guest in roughly 20% of boots on v6.2-rc4. Example panic below.

I've bisected it to commit eac3ef262941 ("nvme-pci: split the initial
probe from the rest path").

I'm not seeing this on any other emulated platforms that I'm currently
testing (x86_64, riscv32/64, mips32/64 and sparc64).
