nvme: don't protect ns mutation with ns->head->lock
Right now ns->head->lock is protecting namespace mutation which is wrong and unneeded. Move it to only protect against head mutations. While we're at it, remove unnecessary ns->head reference as we already have head pointer. The problem with this is that the head->lock spans mpath disk node I/O that may block under some conditions (if for example the controller is disconnecting or the path became inaccessible), The locking scheme does not allow any other path to enable itself, preventing blocked I/O to complete and forward-progress from there. This is a preparation patch for the fix in a subsequent patch where the disk I/O will also be done outside the head->lock.
