NVMe: Fix filesystem sync deadlock on removal
This changes the order of deleting the gendisks so it happens after the nvme IO queues are freed. If a device is removed while a filesystem has associated dirty data, the removal will wait on these to complete before proceeding from del_gendisk, which could have caused deadlock before. The implication of this is that an orderly removal of a responsive device won't necessarily wait for dirty data to be written, but we are not guaranteed the device is even going to respond at this point either.
