Nilay Shroff a705886ac8 nvme: fix PCIe subsystem reset controller state transition 
commit 0edb475ac0 upstream.

The commit d2fe192348 (“nvme: only allow entering LIVE from CONNECTING
state”) disallows controller state transitions directly from RESETTING
to LIVE. However, the NVMe PCIe subsystem reset path relies on this
transition to recover the controller on PowerPC (PPC) systems.

On PPC systems, issuing a subsystem reset causes a temporary loss of
communication with the NVMe adapter. A subsequent PCIe MMIO read then
triggers EEH recovery, which restores the PCIe link and brings the
controller back online. For EEH recovery to proceed correctly, the
controller must transition back to the LIVE state.

Due to the changes introduced by commit d2fe192348 (“nvme: only allow
entering LIVE from CONNECTING state”), the controller can no longer
transition directly from RESETTING to LIVE. As a result, EEH recovery
exits prematurely, leaving the controller stuck in the RESETTING state.

Fix this by explicitly transitioning the controller state from RESETTING
to CONNECTING and then to LIVE. This satisfies the updated state
transition rules and allows the controller to be successfully recovered
on PPC systems following a PCIe subsystem reset.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
