nvme-multipath: defer partition scanning
[ Upstream commit 1f021341eef41e77a633186e9be5223de2ce5d48 ]
We need to suppress the partition scan from occuring within the
controller's scan_work context. If a path error occurs here, the IO will
wait until a path becomes available or all paths are torn down, but that
action also occurs within scan_work, so it would deadlock. Defer the
partion scan to a different context that does not block scan_work.
