nvme-multipath: fix crash in nvme_mpath_clear_ctrl_paths

Browse Source 
nvme_mpath_clear_ctrl_paths() iterates through
the ctrl->namespaces list while holding ctrl->scan_lock.
This does not seem to be the correct way of protecting
from concurrent list modification.

Specifically, nvme_scan_work() sorts ctrl->namespaces
AFTER unlocking scan_lock.

This may result in the following (rare) crash in ctrl disconnect
during scan_work:

Fix:
After taking scan_lock in nvme_mpath_clear_ctrl_paths()
down_read(&ctrl->namespaces_rwsem) as well to make list traversal safe.
This will not cause deadlocks because taking scan_lock never happens
while holding the namespaces_rwsem.
Moreover, scan work downs namespaces_rwsem in the same order.

Alternative: sort ctrl->namespaces in nvme_scan_work()
while still holding the scan_lock.
This would leave nvme_mpath_clear_ctrl_paths() without correct protection
against ctrl->namespaces modification by anyone other than scan_work.
