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().
