This will cause xprt->bc_alloc_max to become meaningless.
That isn't really a problem as the xprt is about to be freed, but it
still seems a little untidy - fragile maybe.
How about another line in the comment:

   * Note: this corrupts ->bc_alloc_max, but it is too late for that to
   * matter.
??

Also, possibly add
 WARN_ON(atomic_read(&xprt->bc_slot_count);
either before or after the xprt_destroy_backchannel - because there
really shouldn't be any requests by this stage.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
