nvme: fix ns removal hang when failing to revalidate due to a transient error If a controller reset is racing with a namespace revalidation, the revalidation (admin) I/O will surely fail, but we should not remove the namespace as we will execute the I/O when the controller is back up. Same for spurious allocation errors (return -ENOMEM). Fix this by checking the specific error code in nvme_revalidate_disk and if it is a transient error (for example non DNR nvme statuses or a negative ENOMEM as allocation failure), do not remove the namespace as it will either recover when the controller is back up and schedule a subsequent scan, or the controller is going away and the namespaces will be removed anyways. This fixes a hang namespace scanning racing with a controller reset and also sporious I/O errors in path failover coditions where the controller reset is racing with the namespace scan work with multipath enabled.
