[PATCH V2 2/4] blk-mq: fix blk_mq_request_completed

[Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com>]

MQ_RQ_COMPLETE is one transient state, because the .complete callback
ends or requeues this request, then the request state is updated to
IDLE from the .complete callback.

blk_mq_request_completed() is often used by driver for avoiding
double completion with help of driver's specific sync approach. Such as,
NVMe TCP calls blk_mq_request_completed() in its timeout handler
and abort handler for avoiding double completion. If request's state
is updated to IDLE in either one, another code path may think this
request as not completed, and will complete it one more time. Then
double completion is triggered.

Yi reported[1] that 'refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free' of rq->ref
is triggered in blktests(nvme/012) on one very slow machine.

Fixes this issue by thinking request as completed if its state becomes
not IN_FLIGHT.
