hw/nvme: cancel inflight requests on controller reset
nvme_ctrl_reset() freed every SQ/CQ right after nvme_ns_drain(), which
only waits out requests on a per-namespace BlockBackend. That is safe
as long as the guest first tore down I/O queues gracefully (Delete
I/O SQ/CQ), since nvme_del_sq() already cancels and waits for
anything left on a queue before freeing it.
A reset that happens without that graceful sequence first (e.g. an
abrupt/asynchronous controller reset) can still have commands
inflight on blk_aio_*. Freeing sq/cq before those complete leaves
their completion callbacks (nvme_rw_cb() and friends) to run against
already-freed NvmeRequest/NvmeSQueue/NvmeCQueue memory via
nvme_enqueue_req_completion(), causing a use-after-free/segfault.
Run nvme_sq_cancel_inflight() over every queue in nvme_ctrl_reset()
before the free loops, so no in-flight blk_aio_* callback can fire
after sq/cq memory is freed.
