nvme: fix a possible deadlock when passthru commands sent to a multipath device

When the user issues a command with side effects, we will end up freezing
the namespace request queue when updating disk info (and the same for
the corresponding mpath disk node).

However, we are not freezing the mpath node request queue,
which means that mpath I/O can still come in and block on blk_queue_enter
(called from nvme_ns_head_make_request -> direct_make_request).

This is a deadlock, because blk_queue_enter will block until the inner
namespace request queue is unfroze, but that process is blocked because
the namespace revalidation is trying to update the mpath disk info
and freeze its request queue (which will never complete because
of the I/O that is blocked on blk_queue_enter).

Fix this by freezing all the subsystem nsheads request queues before
executing the passthru command. Given that these commands are infrequent
we should not worry about this temporary I/O freeze to keep things sane.

Here is the matching hang traces:
