The __nvmf_check_ready() routine used to bounce all filesystem io if
the controller state isn't LIVE. However, a later patch changed the
logic so that it rejection ends up being based on the Q live check.
The fc transport has a slightly different sequence from rdma and tcp
for shutting down queues/marking them non-live. FC marks its queue
non-live after aborting all ios and waiting for their termination,
leaving a rather large window for filesystem io to continue to hit the
transport. Unfortunately this resulted in filesystem io or applications
seeing I/O errors.

Change the fc transport to mark the queues non-live at the first
sign of teardown for the association (when i/o is initially terminated).

Sounds like the correct behavior to me, what is the motivation for doing
that only after all I/O was aborted?

source evolution over time (rdma/tcp changed how they worked) and the 
need didn't show up earlier based on the earlier checks.

Makes sense...
