Yeah that was my point. Unfortunately, nvme_mpath_init_ctrl() is not called when we do nvme 
controller reset. So either we move nvme_mpath_init_ctrl() to some common place which 
is called from regular controller init code as well as controller reset code path 
or we may explicitly reset nr_active counter from nvme_timeout().
