Shuhei Matsumoto 962c4c3800 bdev/nvme: Fix a degradation that I/O gets queued infinitely
We noticed the difference between the SPDK 21.10 and the latest master
in a test.

The simplified scenario is as follows:
1. Start SPDK NVMe-oF target
2. Run bdevperf for the target with -f parameter to suppress exit
   on failure.
3. Kill the target after I/O started.

With the SPDK 21.10, bdevperf retries failed I/Os and exits after
the test time is over.

With the latest SPDK master, bdevperf hungs and does not exit even
after the test time is over.

The cause was as follows:

reset ctrlr is repeated very quickly (once per 10ms by default) and hence
I/Os were queued infinitely because nvme_io_path_is_failed() returned
false if nvme_ctrlr is resetting.

We should queue I/O when nvme_ctrlr is resetting only if reset is throttoled
and fail-fast for the repeated failures is supported.

Hence in this patch, fix the degradation and remove the related unit
test cases.
