Hence, when a queue initialization fails after the ahash requests are allocated, it is guaranteed that the queue removal async work will be called, hence leave the deallocation to the queue removal. Also, be extra careful not to continue processing the socket, so set queue rcv_state to NVMET_TCP_RECV_ERR upon a socket error.
