From: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@xxxxxxxxxxx> In case nvme_alloc_ns fails after we initialize ns_head but before we add the ns to the controller namespaces list we need to explicitly put the ns_head reference because when we teardown the controller we won't find it, causing us to leak a dangling subsystem eventually.
