We were seeing some issues in our lab in abort paths with double completions.
This was the first change I made to help resolve this. Patch 2 is definitely
required and the first patch is more for sanity until we can do more abort
path regression testing. What I'd like to do is queue both of these patches
for fixes / stable, then run additional regression testing with async aborts
and re-enable it in a future kernel once I'm more comfortable with it.

If it simplifies things, I can resend the series and cc stable.

Thanks,

Brian
