For example, scsi aacraid normal completion vs. reset together with elevator
switch, aacraid is one single queue HBA, and the request will be completed
via IPI or softirq asynchronously, that said request isn't really completed
after blk_mq_complete_request() returns.

1) interrupt comes, and request A is completed via blk_mq_complete_request()
from aacraid's interrupt handler via ->scsi_done()

2) _aac_reset_adapter() comes because of reset event which can be
triggered by sysfs store or whatever, irq is drained in 
_aac_reset_adpter(), so blk_mq_complete_request(request A) from aacraid irq
context is done, but request A is just scheduled to be completed via IPI
or softirq asynchronously, not really done yet.

3) scsi_host_complete_all_commands() is called from _aac_reset_adapter() for
failing all pending requests. request A is still visible in
scsi_host_complete_all_commands, because its tag isn't freed yet. But the
tag & request A can be completed & freed exactly after scsi_host_complete_all_commands()
reads ->rqs[bitnr] in bt_tags_iter(), which calls complete_all_cmds_iter()
-> .scsi_done() -> blk_mq_complete_request(), and same request A is scheduled via
IPI or softirq, and request A is addded in ipi or softirq list.

4) meantime request A is freed from normal completion triggered by interrupt, one
pending elevator switch can move on since request A drops the last reference; and
bt_tags_iter() returns from reset path, so blk_mq_wait_for_tag_iter() can return
too, then the whole scheduler request pool is freed now.

5) request A in ipi/softirq list scheduled from _aac_reset_adapter is read , UAF
is triggered.

It is supposed that driver covers normal completion vs. error handling, but wrt.
remove completion, not sure driver is capable of covering that.
