commit 5bae7f73d378a986 upstream
Upstream is a near rewrite of the async nvme probe that ultimately didn't
even cleanly merge in 4.5. This patch is a much smaller change targeted
to the regression introduced in 4.4.
If a controller is in a degraded mode that needs admin assistence to
recover, we need to leave the controller running. We just want to disable
namespace access without shuting the controller down.
Fixes: 3cf519b5a8d4("nvme: merge nvme_dev_start, nvme_dev_resume and nvme_async_probe")
