Daniel, again, there is nothing specific about this to nvme-tcp,
this is a safeguard against a funky controller (or a different
bug that is hidden by this). The same can happen in any other
transport so I would suggest that if this is a safeguard we
want to put in place, we should make it a generic one.

i.e. nvme_tag_to_rq() that _all_ transports call consistently.
