nvme-tcp: fix io_work priority inversion

commit 70f437f upstream.

Dispatching requests inline with the .queue_rq() call may block while
holding the send_mutex. If the tcp io_work also happens to schedule, it
may see the req_list is non-empty, leaving "pending" true and remaining
in TASK_RUNNING. Since io_work is of higher scheduling priority, the
.queue_rq task may not get a chance to run, blocking forward progress
and leading to io timeouts.

Instead of checking for pending requests within io_work, let the queueing
restart io_work outside the send_mutex lock if there is more work to be
done.

Fixes: a0fdd14 ("nvme-tcp: rerun io_work if req_list is not empty")
