I see, the reason why we hit this is because we uninit_data_in_cmds as
we need to clear the the sq references so nvmet_sq_destroy() can
complete, and then when nvmet_sq_destroy schedules io_work we hit this.

I think what we need is to make sure we don't recv from the socket.
How about this patch:

Ok I can repeat the test, but you probably want to do this instead:
diff --git a/drivers/nvme/target/tcp.c b/drivers/nvme/target/tcp.c

        nvmet_tcp_uninit_data_in_cmds(queue);
        nvmet_sq_destroy(&queue->nvme_sq);
If you don't perform a cancel_work_sync() you may race against a running
io_work thread that may overwrite rcv_state with some other value.
