[PATCH] nvmet-tcp: fix possible memory leak when tearing down a controller

When we teardown the controller, we wait for pending I/Os to complete
(sq->ref on all queues to drop to zero) and then we go over the commands,
and free their command buffers in case they are still fetching data from
the host (e.g. processing nvme writes) and have yet to take a reference
on the sq.

However, we may miss the case where commands have failed before executing
and are queued for sending a response, but will never occur because the
queue socket is already down. In this case we may miss deallocating command
buffers.

Solve this by freeing all commands buffers as nvmet_tcp_free_cmd_buffers is
idempotent anyways.
