nvme: fix race condition between connected uevent and STARTED_ONCE flag
When a controller connects, nvme_start_ctrl() emits the "NVME_EVENT=connected" uevent and sets the NVME_CTRL_STARTED_ONCE flag. Currently, the uevent is emitted before the flag is set. This creates a race condition for userspace tools (like udev rules) that might rely on the "connected" event to configure other attributes. Swap the order of operations in nvme_start_ctrl() so that the NVME_CTRL_STARTED_ONCE flag is set before the uevent is sent. This guarantees that the admin_timeout can already be changed when userspace is notified.
