Avoid that the loops that iterate over the request ring can
encounter a pointer to a SCSI command in req->scmnd that is
no longer associated with that request. If the function
srp_unmap_data() is invoked twice for a SCSI command that is
not in flight then that would cause ib_fmr_pool_unmap() to
be invoked with an invalid pointer as argument, resulting in
a kernel oops.
