nvme: fix nvme_ns_remove() deadlock On receipt of a namespace attribute changed AER, we acquire the namespace mutex lock before proceeding to scan and validate the namespace list. In case of namespace detach/delete command, nvme_ns_remove function deadlocks trying to acquire the already held lock. All callers, except nvme_remove_namespaces(), of nvme_ns_remove() already held namespaces_mutex. So we can simply fix the deadlock by not acquiring the mutex in nvme_ns_remove() and acquiring it in nvme_remove_namespaces().
