Shin'ichiro Kawasaki ef4ab2a8ab nvme-multipath: fix lockdep WARN due to partition scan work ...

[ Upstream commit 6d87cd5335 ]

Blktests test cases nvme/014, 057 and 058 fail occasionally due to a
lockdep WARN. As reported in the Closes tag URL, the WARN indicates that
a deadlock can happen due to the dependency among disk->open_mutex,
kblockd workqueue completion and partition_scan_work completion.

To avoid the lockdep WARN and the potential deadlock, cut the dependency
by running the partition_scan_work not by kblockd workqueue but by
nvme_wq.
