[ Upstream commit 9b0cb770f5d7b1ff40bea7ca385438ee94570eec ]

do_req_filebacked() calls blk_mq_complete_request() synchronously or
asynchronously when using asynchronous I/O unless memory allocation fails.
Hence, modify loop_handle_cmd() such that it does not dereference 'cmd' nor
'rq' after do_req_filebacked() finished unless we are sure that the request
has not yet been completed. This patch fixes the following kernel crash:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000054
Call trace:

[ Dropped the part fixing c74d40e8b5e2 as this commit isn't included in
5.10. Kept the part fixing bc07c10a3603 ]
