OK, so as discussed off-list signaling connect sends resolves the issue.
My recollection was that when the Chelsio queue-pair transitions to
error/drain state, the cxgb4 driver does not know which sends were
completed without the completion signal causing it to complete it again
and the wr_cqe might have been already freed. I assume the same is going
on here as we free the tag set before draining the qp...
