Emit a warning when ->done or ->free are called on an already freed srb. There is a hidden use-after-free bug in the driver which corrupts the srb memory pool which originates from the cleanup callbacks. By explicitly resetting the callbacks to NULL, we workaround the memory corruption.
An extensive search didn't bring any lights on the real problem. The initial idea was to set both pointers to NULL and try to catch invalid accesses. But instead the memory corruption was gone and the driver didn't crash.
