Re: [PATCH v5 5/6] nbd: convert to use blk_mq_find_and_get_req()

blk_mq_tag_to_rq() can only ensure to return valid request in
following situation:

1) client send request message to server first
submit_bio

 blk_mq_get_tag

 blk_mq_get_driver_tag
 ...
 nbd_queue_rq
  nbd_handle_cmd
   nbd_send_cmd

2) client receive respond message from server
recv_work
 nbd_read_stat
  blk_mq_tag_to_rq

If step 1) is missing, blk_mq_tag_to_rq() will return a stale
request, which might be freed. Thus convert to use
blk_mq_find_and_get_req() to make sure the returned request is not
freed.

But NBD_CMD_INFLIGHT has been added for checking if the reply is
expected, do we still need blk_mq_find_and_get_req() for covering
this issue? BTW, request and its payload is pre-allocated, so there
isn't real use-after-free.
