[PATCH] nvme: auth: validate DHCHAP secret before stopping authentication

[Sreeraj S Kurup]

The driver currently calls nvme_auth_stop() before checking if the new
secret key is valid. If a bad key is passed through sysfs, the key
parser fails and exits early.

Since nvme_auth_stop() was already called, the current authentication
session gets stopped. However, because the parser failed, the work
thread is never restarted. This leaves the NVMe controller stuck in a
stopped state until someone writes a valid key.

Fix this by validating the key before stopping authentication. If the
key is invalid, return an error immediately and leave the running state
machine untouched.
