From Alon: "Due to a logical bug in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel, a malicious user can cause a UAF and a double free, which may lead to RCE (may also lead to an LPE in case the attacker already has local privileges)."
Hence, when a queue initialization fails after the ahash requests are allocated, it is guaranteed that the queue removal async work will be called, hence leave the deallocation to the queue removal.
Also, be extra careful not to continue processing the socket, so set queue rcv_state to NVMET_TCP_RECV_ERR upon a socket error.

Would it be better to add Fixes: and Cc: stable lines?
This issue existed since the introduction of the driver, I am not sure it applies cleanly that far back...
I figured that the description and Reported-by tag will trigger stable kernel pick up...
