After blk_mq_put_rq_ref() returns, this request may have been freed,
so the returned 'cmd' may have been freed too.

As I replied in your another thread, it is driver's responsibility to
cover race between normal completion and timeout/error handling, that
means the caller of blk_mq_tag_to_rq need to make sure that the request
represented by the passed 'tag' can't be freed.

I'd suggest to understand why nbd_read_stat()/blk_mq_tag_to_rq() may return
one freed request first, who frees the request and how when calling
blk_mq_tag_to_rq() before figuring out solutions.
