nvme-pci: avoid dereference of symbol from unloaded module
The 'remove_work' may be scheduled to run after nvme_remove() returns since we can't simply cancel it in nvme_remove() for avoiding deadlock. Once nvme_remove() returns, this module(nvme) can be unloaded. On the other hand, nvme_put_ctrl() calls ctr->ops->free_ctrl which may point to nvme_pci_free_ctrl() in unloaded module. This patch avoids this issue by queuing 'remove_work' via 'nvme_wq', and flush this worqueue in nvme_exit() as suggested by Sagi.
