[PATCH 5.15 55/75] nvmet-tcp: add an helper to free the cmd buffers

From: Maurizio Lombardi <mlombard@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 69b85e1f1d1d1e49601ec3e85d2031188657cca2 ]

Makes the code easier to read and to debug.

Sets the freed pointers to NULL, it will be useful
when destroying the queues to understand if the commands'
buffers have been released already or not.
