nvme: fix deadlock caused by ANA update wrong locking

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit 657f1975e9d9c880fa13030e88ba6cc84964f1db ]

The deadlock combines 4 flows in parallel:
- ns scanning (triggered from reconnect)
- request timeout
- ANA update (triggered from reconnect)
- I/O coming into the mpath device

(1) ns scanning triggers disk revalidation -> update disk info ->
    freeze queue -> but blocked, due to (2)

(2) timeout handler reference the g_usage_counter - > but blocks in
    the transport .timeout() handler, due to (3)

(3) the transport timeout handler (indirectly) calls nvme_stop_queue() ->
    which takes the (down_read) namespaces_rwsem - > but blocks, due to (4)

(4) ANA update takes the (down_write) namespaces_rwsem -> calls
    nvme_mpath_set_live() -> which synchronize the ns_head srcu
    (see commit 504db087aacc) -> but blocks, due to (5)

(5) I/O came into nvme_mpath_make_request -> took srcu_read_lock ->
    direct_make_request > blk_queue_enter -> but blocked, due to (1)

==> the request queue is under freeze -> deadlock.

The fix is making ANA update take a read lock as the namespaces list
is not manipulated, it is just the ns and ns->head that are being
updated (which is protected with the ns->head lock).
