From: Zheng Qixing <zhengqixing@huawei.com>
When inserting a namespace into the controller's namespace list,
the function uses list_add_rcu() when the namespace is inserted
in the middle of the list, but falls back to a regular list_add()
when adding at the head of the list.
This inconsistency could lead to race conditions during concurrent
access, as users might observe a partially updated list. Fix this
by consistently using list_add_rcu() in both code paths to ensure
proper RCU protection throughout the entire function.
Fixes: be647e2c76b2 ("nvme: use srcu for iterating namespace list")
