Subject: IB/srp: Fix a sporadic crash triggered by cable pulling

commit 024ca90151f5e4296d30f72c13ff9a075e23c9ec upstream.

Avoid that the loops that iterate over the request ring can encounter
a pointer to a SCSI command in req->scmnd that is no longer associated
with that request. If the function srp_unmap_data() is invoked twice
for a SCSI command that is not in flight then that would cause
ib_fmr_pool_unmap() to be invoked with an invalid pointer as argument,
resulting in a kernel oops.
