[PATCH v2] nvmet-rdma: fix possible bad dereference when freeing rsps

[Sagi Grimberg]

It is possible that the host connected and saw a cm established
event and started sending nvme capsules on the qp, however the
ctrl did not yet see an established event. This is why the
rsp_wait_list exists (for async handling of these cmds, we move
them to a pending list).

Furthermore, it is possible that the ctrl cm times out, resulting
in a connect-error cm event. in this case we hit a bad deref [1]
because in nvmet_rdma_free_rsps we assume that all the responses
are in the free list.

We are freeing the cmds array anyways, so don't even bother to
remove the rsp from the free_list. It is also guaranteed that we
are not racing anything when we are releasing the queue so no
other context accessing this array should be running.
