Hennes reported the following kernel oops:

     There is a race condition between namespace rescanning and
     controller reset; during controller reset all namespaces are
     quiesed vie nams_stop_ctrl(), and after reset all namespaces
     are unquiesced again.
     When namespace scanning was active by the time controller reset
     was triggered the rescan code will call nvme_ns_remove(), which
     then will cause a kernel crash in nvme_start_ctrl() as it'll trip
     over uninitialized namespaces.

Patch "blk-mq: free hw queue's resource in hctx's release handler"
should make this issue quite difficult to trigger. However it can't
kill the issue completely becasue pre-condition of that patch is to
hold request queue's refcount before calling block layer API, and
there is still a small window between blk_cleanup_queue() and removing
the ns from the controller namspace list in nvme_ns_remove().

Hold request queue's refcount until the ns is freed, then the above race
can be avoided completely. Given the 'namespaces_rwsem' is always held
to retrieve ns for starting/stopping request queue, this lock can prevent
namespaces from being freed.
