The queue's tags were freed in 'blk_mq_map_swqueue' because some queues
weren't mapped to a s/w queue, but the driver has a pointer to that
freed memory, so it's a use-after-free error.

This part in the driver looks different than it used to be in v8 when I
last tested. The nvme_queue used to have a pointer to the 'hctx', but now
it points directly to the 'tags', but it doesn't appear to be very safe.
