Nitzan Carmi 4317228ad9 nvme: Avoid flush dependency in delete controller flow
The nvme_delete_ctrl() function queues a work item on a MEM_RECLAIM
queue (nvme_delete_wq), which eventually calls cleanup_srcu_struct(),
which in turn flushes a delayed work from an !MEM_RECLAIM queue. This
is unsafe as we might trigger deadlocks under severe memory pressure.

Since we don't ever invoke call_srcu(), it is safe to use the shiny new
_quiesced() version of srcu cleanup, thus avoiding that flush dependency.
This commit makes that change.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
