When I looked at this log previously, I thought you were repro-ing by
killing the fuse daemon process, not the cat process. When we kill the
cat process, the timer shouldn't be getting deleted. (if the daemon
itself is killed, the timers get deleted)

This is the flow of what is happening on the kernel side (verified by
local printks) -

`cat /tmp/fuse/hello`:
Issues a FUSE_READ background request (via fuse_send_readpages(),
fm->fc->async_read). This request will have a timeout of 10 seconds on
it

The cat process is killed:
This does not clean up the request. The request is still on the fpq
processing list.

Timeout on request expires:
The timeout handler runs and properly cleans up / frees the request.

Fuse daemon wakes from sleep and replies to the request:
In dev_do_write(), the kernel won't be able to find this request
(since it timed out and was removed from the fpq processing list) and
return with -ENOENT
