[PATCH] nvme-tcp: fix possible req->offset corruption

With commit db5ad6b7f8cd ("nvme-tcp: try to send request in queue_rq
context") r2t and response PDU can get processed while send function
is executing.

Current data digest send code uses req->offset after kernel_sendmsg(),
this creates a race condition where req->offset gets reset before it
is used in send function.

This can happen in two cases -
1. Target sends r2t PDU which resets req->offset.
2. Target send response PDU which completes the req and then req is
   used for a new command, nvme_tcp_setup_cmd_pdu() resets req->offset.

Fix this by storing req->offset in a local variable and using
this local variable after kernel_sendmsg().
