nvme: apply DELAY_BEFORE_CHK_RDY quirk at probe time too
commit b5a10c5f upstream. Commit 54adc010 ("nvme/quirk: Add a delay before checking for adapter readiness") introduced a quirk to adapters that cannot read the bit NVME_CSTS_RDY right after register NVME_REG_CC is set; these adapters need a delay or else the action of reading the bit NVME_CSTS_RDY could somehow corrupt adapter's registers state and it never recovers. When this quirk was added, we checked ctrl->tagset in order to avoid quirking in probe time, supposing we would never require such delay during probe. Well, it was too optimistic; we in fact need this quirk at probe time in some cases, like after a kexec. In some experiments, after abnormal shutdown of machine (aka power cord unplug), we booted into our bootloader in Power, which is a Linux kernel, and kexec'ed into another distro. If this kexec is too quick, we end up reaching the probe of NVMe adapter in that distro when adapter is in bad state (not fully initialized on our bootloader). What happens next is that nvme_wait_ready() is unable to complete, except if the quirk is enabled. So, this patch removes the original ctrl->tagset verification in order to enable the quirk even on probe time.
