Subject: [RFC PATCH 12/14] nvme-fc: Decouple error recovery from controller reset

nvme_fc_error_recovery() called from nvme_fc_timeout() while controller
in CONNECTING state results in deadlock reported in link below. Update
nvme_fc_timeout() to schedule error recovery to avoid the deadlock.

Previous to this change, if controller was LIVE, error recovery resets
the controller. This did not match nvme-tcp and nvme-rdma. Decouple
error recovery from controller reset to match other fabric transports.
