If there are errors during initial controller create, the transport will teardown the partially initialized controller struct and free the ctlr memory. Trouble is - most of those errors can occur due to asynchronous events happening such io timeouts and subsystem connectivity failures. Those failures invoke async workq items to reset the controller and attempt reconnect. Those may be in progress as the main thread frees the ctrl memory, resulting in NULL ptr oops.
Prevent this from happening by having the main ctrl failure thread changing state to DELETING followed by synchronously cancelling any pending queued work item. The change of state will prevent the scheduling of resets or reconnect events.
