Ming Lei 03e0f3a65e 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.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
