nvme: replace the kthread with a per-device watchdog timer
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1602724 The only work left in the kthread is the periodic health check for each controller. There is no need to run this from process context or keep a thread context around for it, so replace it with a simpler timer.
