In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: Fix crash when a namespace is disabled
The namespace percpu counter protects pending I/O, and we can
only safely diable the namespace once the counter drop to zero.
Otherwise we end up with a crash when running blktests/nvme/058
(eg for loop transport):
[ 2352.930426] [ T53909] Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000005: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI

[ 2352.930449] [ T53909] RIP: 0010:blkcg_set_ioprio+0x44/0x180
as the queue is already torn down when calling submit_bio();
So we need to init the percpu counter in nvmet_ns_enable(), and
wait for it to drop to zero in nvmet_ns_disable() to avoid having
I/O pending after the namespace has been disabled.
