Hey Bart, should nvme_stop_queues() really be resuming the blk queue?

Hello Steve,

Would you perhaps prefer that blk_resume_queue(q) is called from nvme_start_queues()? I think that would make the NVMe code harder to review. The above code won't cause any unexpected side effects if an NVMe namespace is removed after nvme_stop_queues() has been called and before nvme_start_queues() is called. Moving the blk_resume_queue(q) call into nvme_start_queues() will only work as expected if no namespaces are added nor removed between the nvme_stop_queues() and nvme_start_queues() calls. I'm not familiar enough with the NVMe code to know whether or not this change is safe ...

Bart.
