Please have a look at the kernel bug report in the description of patch 4/4 of
this series.

Calling scsi_mq_requeue_cmd() would trigger scsi_mq_uninit_cmd(),
blk_mq_put_driver_tag(), blk_mq_get_driver_tag() and scsi_mq_prep_fn().
That could cause scsi_eh_scmd_add() to be called multiple times for the
same SCSI command. However, that would break one of the assumptions
scsi_eh_scmd_add() is based on, namely that that function gets called
only once per SCSI command that is in progress.
