CVE-2025-21850

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

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.
