A crash happens when set feature(NVME_FEAT_NUM_QUEUES) timeout in nvme
over rdma(roce) reconnection, the reason is use the queue which is not
alloced.

If it is not discovery and no io queues, the connection should fail.
If you're getting a timeout, we need to quit initialization. Hannes
attempted making that status visible for fabrics here:

I know the patch. It can not solve the scenario: target may be an
attacker or the target behavior is incorrect.
If target return 0 io queues or return other error code, the crash will
still happen. We should not allow this to happen.
I'm fully with you that we shouldn't crash, but at the same time a value 
of '0' for the number of I/O queues is considered valid.
So we should fix the code to handle this scenario, and not disallowing 
zero I/O queues.

Cheers,

Hannes
