nvme-multipath: fix crash in nvme_mpath_clear_ctrl_paths
nvme_mpath_clear_ctrl_paths() iterates through the ctrl->namespaces list while holding ctrl->scan_lock. This does not seem to be the correct way of protecting from concurrent list modification. Specifically, nvme_scan_work() sorts ctrl->namespaces AFTER unlocking scan_lock. This may result in the following (rare) crash in ctrl disconnect during scan_work: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000050 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI CPU: 0 PID: 3995 Comm: nvme 5.3.5-050305-generic RIP: 0010:nvme_mpath_clear_current_path+0xe/0x90 [nvme_core] ...

This will not cause deadlocks because taking scan_lock never happens while holding the namespaces_rwsem. Moreover, scan work downs namespaces_rwsem in the same order. Alternative: sort ctrl->namespaces in nvme_scan_work() while still holding the scan_lock. This would leave nvme_mpath_clear_ctrl_paths() without correct protection against ctrl->namespaces modification by anyone other than scan_work.
