[Bionic][PATCH 1/1] nvme-pci: Fix EEH failure on ppc

From: Wen Xiong <wenxiong at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1753371

Triggering PPC EEH detection and handling requires a memory mapped read
failure. The NVMe driver removed the periodic health check MMIO, so
there's no early detection mechanism to trigger the recovery. Instead,
the detection now happens when the nvme driver handles an IO timeout
event. This takes the pci channel offline, so we do not want the driver
to proceed with escalating its own recovery efforts that may conflict
with the EEH handler.

This patch ensures the driver will observe the channel was set to offline
after a failed MMIO read and resets the IO timer so the EEH handler has
a chance to recover the device.
