From: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6173a77b7e9d3e202bdb9897b23f2a8afe7bf286 ] An nvme target ->queue_response() operation implementation may free the request passed as argument. Such implementation potentially could result in a use after free of the request pointer when percpu_ref_put() is called in nvmet_req_complete(). Avoid such problem by using a local variable to save the sq pointer before calling __nvmet_req_complete(), thus avoiding dereferencing the req pointer after that function call.
