nvme: swap synchronization ordering in nvme_remove_head()

Browse source 
sashiko bot reported a potential issue in the requeue handling in [0] -
the code there is same as the NVMe driver.

The issue is that when we schedule the requeue work, if a bio is added to
the requeue list afterwards in nvme_ns_head_submit_bio(), it is missed by
the requeue worker.

This issue can be recreated by hacking a large delay in the bio submission
requeue path:

        } else if (nvme_available_path(head)) {
                dev_warn_ratelimited(dev, "no usable path - requeuing I/O\n");

+               msleep(30000);
                spin_lock_irq(&head->requeue_lock);
                bio_list_add(&head->requeue_list, bio);
                spin_unlock_irq(&head->requeue_lock);

Then if we issue a write after removing all paths, a hang can be seen:

# echo 20 > /sys/devices/virtual/nvme-subsystem/nvme-subsys1/nvme1n1/delayed_removal_secs
#
# ./ini_nvme_teardown.sh
[   25.877224] nvme nvme1: Removing ctrl: NQN "nvme-test-target"
[   25.939569] nvme nvme2: Removing ctrl: NQN "nvme-test-target"
#
# xfs_io -d -C "pwrite -b 64k -V 1 -D 0 64k" /dev/nvme1n1p1
[   29.883653] block nvme1n1: no usable path - requeuing I/O

Fix by re-ordering the SRCU synchronization and scheduling the requeue
work.
