Why would you ever call it from interrupt context? All the target
submission handlers should run in process context.

But independent of the target code - I'd much rather leave this to the
caller. Just call nvme_command_effects in the target code, then if
there are not side effects use blk_execute_rq_nowait directly, else
schedule a workqueue in the target code and call
nvme_execute_passthru_rq from it.
