nvme-tcp: fix possible hang caused during ctrl deletion

When we delete a controller, we execute the following:
1. nvme_stop_ctrl() - stop some work elements that may be
	inflight or scheduled (specifically also .stop_ctrl
	which cancels ctrl error recovery work)
2. nvme_remove_namespaces() - which first flushes scan_work
	to avoid competing ns addition/removal
3. continue to teardown the controller

However, if err_work was scheduled to run in (1), it is designed to
cancel any inflight I/O, particularly I/O that is originating from ns
scan_work in (2), but because it is cancelled in .stop_ctrl(), we can
prevent forward progress of (2) as ns scanning is blocking on I/O
(that will never be cancelled).

The race is:
1. transport layer error observed -> err_work is scheduled
2. scan_work executes, discovers ns, generate I/O to it
3. nvme_ctop_ctrl() -> .stop_ctrl() -> cancel_work_sync(err_work)
   - err_work never executed
4. nvme_remove_namespaces() -> flush_work(scan_work)
--> deadlock, because scan_work is blocked on I/O that was supposed
to be cancelled by err_work, but was cancelled before executing (see
stack trace [1]).

Fix this by flushing err_work instead of cancelling it, to force it
to execute and cancel all inflight I/O.
