NVMe: Surprise removal handling
This adds checks to see if the nvme pci device was removed. The check reads the status register for the value of -1, which it should never be unless the device is no longer present. If a user performs a surprise removal on an nvme device, the driver will be notified either by the pci driver remove callback if the platform's slot is capable of this event, or via reading the device BAR status register, which will indicate controller failure and trigger a reset. Either way, the device is not present so all outstanding commands would timeout. This will not send queue deletion commands to a drive that isn't present and fail after ioremap, significantly speeding up surprise removal; previously this took over 2 minutes per IO queue pair created, but this will complete removing the device within a few seconds.
