How did tcmu_handle_completion get to a point it was accessing the
se_cmd if the TCMU_CMD_BIT_EXPIRED bit was set? Were memory accesses out
of order? CPU1 set the TCMU_CMD_BIT_EXPIRED bit then cleared
cmd->se_cmd, but CPU2 copied cmd->se_cmd to se_cmd and saw it was NULL
but did not yet see the TCMU_CMD_BIT_EXPIRED bit set?

It looks like, if you do the above patch, the above function will call
target_complete_cmd and tcmu_handle_completion will call it again, so we
will have a double free issue.
