nvme: avoid that deleting a controller triggers a circular locking complaint

Rework nvme_delete_ctrl_sync() such that it does not have to wait for
queued work. This patch avoids that test nvme/008 triggers the following
complaint:

WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
5.0.0-rc6-dbg+ #10 Not tainted
------------------------------------------------------
nvme/7918 is trying to acquire lock:
000000009a1a7b69 ((work_completion)(&ctrl->delete_work)){+.+.}, at: __flush_work+0x379/0x410

but task is already holding lock:
00000000ef5a45b4 (kn->count#389){++++}, at: kernfs_remove_self+0x196/0x210

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
