Subject: nvme-pci: avoid dereference of symbol from unloaded module
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1
Git-commit: 03e0f3a65e4da497c3b7b213c68943cbc73a2e34
References: FATE#323952, FATE#322506

The 'remove_work' may be scheduled to run after nvme_remove()
returns since we can't simply cancel it in nvme_remove() for
avoiding deadlock. Once nvme_remove() returns, this module(nvme)
can be unloaded.

On the other hand, nvme_put_ctrl() calls ctr->ops->free_ctrl
which may point to nvme_pci_free_ctrl() in unloaded module.

This patch avoids this issue by queuing 'remove_work' via 'nvme_wq',
and flush this worqueue in nvme_exit() as suggested by Sagi.
