commit 538e4a8c571efdf131834431e0c14808bcfb1004 upstream.

Some Kingston A2000 NVMe SSDs sooner or later get confused and stop
working when they use the deepest APST sleep while running Linux. The
system then crashes and one has to cold boot it to get the SSD working
again.

Kingston seems to known about this since at least mid-September 2020:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1926994#p1926994

Someone working for a German company representing Kingston to the German
press confirmed to me Kingston engineering is aware of the issue and
investigating; the person stated that to their current knowledge only
the deepest APST sleep state causes trouble. Therefore, make Linux avoid
it for now by applying the NVME_QUIRK_NO_DEEPEST_PS to this SSD.

I have two such SSDs, but it seems the problem doesn't occur with them.
I hence couldn't verify if this patch really fixes the problem, but all
the data in front of me suggests it should.

This patch can easily be reverted or improved upon if a better solution
surfaces.

FWIW, there are many reports about the issue scattered around the web;
most of the users disabled APST completely to make things work, some
just made Linux avoid the deepest sleep state:
