nvmet: fix memory leak when removing namespaces and controllers concurrently

When removing a namespace, we add an NS_CHANGE async event, however if
the controller admin queue is removed after the event was added but not
yet processed, we won't free the aens, resulting in the below memory
leak [1].

Fix that by moving nvmet_async_event_free to the final controller
release after it is detached from subsys->ctrls ensuring no async
events are added, and modify it to simply remove all pending aens.
