I believe the reset_lock is unnecessary (patch 5) as it should be 
covered by the transition of the state to RESETTING which is done under 
lock.

Thus the error is:
instead of:
     if (WARN_ON(dev->ctrl.state != NVME_CTRL_RESETTING))
         goto out;

it should be:
     if (dev->ctrl.state != NVME_CTRL_RESETTING))
         return;
