Saving the state of the request completions adds complication in
general, and we don't even have a request for AENs so it would mean to
keep it under the queue, and we don't really race anything because we
don't have inline data there. So I think its simpler to keep it as is.
Sending a v3 that relaxes the req->lock to spin_lock_bh
