Subject: nvme/core: Fix race kicking freed request_queue
From: Keith Busch <keith.busch@xxxxxxxxx>
commit f33447b90e96076483525b21cc4e0a8977cdd07c upstream.
If a namespace has already been marked dead, we don't want to kick the
request_queue again since we may have just freed it from another thread.
