Independ of this series this change looks like the right thing to do.
But this whole area is a mine field, so separate testing would be
very helpful.
I also wonder why we even bother with the above helper, a direct
state comparism seems a lot more obvious to the reader.
Last but not least the blk_mq_request_started check in nbd
should probably be lifted into blk_mq_tag_to_rq while we're at it..
As for the nvme issue - it seems to me like we need to decouple the
nvme loop frontend request from the target backend request. In case
of a timeout/reset we'll complete struct request like all other nvme
transport drivers, but we leave the backend target state around, which
will be freed when it completes (or leaks when the completion is lost).
