Yes, the problem is that blk-mq only creates hctx0, so nvme-pci
translate it into hctx0's nvme_queue, this way is actually wrong, cause
blk-mq's view on queue topo isn't same with nvme's view.

Yes, "completion polled" can be observed. Meantime the warning in
__irq_startup_managed() can be triggered from
nvme_timeout()->nvme_poll_irqdisable()->enable_irq().
