nvme: fix the deadlock in nvme_update_formats

nvme_update_formats will invoke nvme_ns_remove under namespaces_mutext.
The will cause deadlock because nvme_ns_remove will also require
the namespaces_mutext. Fix it by getting the ns entries which should
be removed under namespaces_mutext and invoke nvme_ns_remove out of
namespaces_mutext.
