Jim Harris 8f5e4bfe2e nvme: clarify required action when free_io_qpair fails
A very heinous error case is when a delete_io_sq or
delete_io_cq command fails when freeing a PCIe IO
qpair.  In that case we return an error to the caller,
and the resources are not freed.

Instead of trying to 'fix' this error case, let's
just tell the user that if freeing an IO qpair fails,
the user should reset the controller and try again.

Resetting the controller will do one of two things:

1) The subsequent create_cq/create_sq will succeed,
   at which point, trying to delete again should work
   fine.  (If it doesn't, it indicates some kind of
   horrendous SSD.)
2) The subsequent create_cq/create_sq will fail,
   at which point the entire ctrlr would fail and
   need to be detached. This could result in some
   leaked memory, but seems unavoidable.

Closes issue #716.
