Re: [PATCH] nvme: honour O_NONBLOCK during resetting

When opening a controller device node we should honour the O_NONBLOCK
flag to allow the device to be openend even if it's in state 'resetting'
or 'connecting'. This allows user-space applications to use a call to 'open'
to figure out if the controller is present, even if it's currently
undergoing a reset.

Will resetting and connecting ever result is deleting the controller due
to error cases present in that path ?

If yes then application will have handle for something that might
go away in the future, should allow such a semantic ?
