I don't know exactly what Christoph meant but IMO the best place to 
allocate it is in nvme_rdma_alloc_queue just before calling

"set_bit(NVME_RDMA_Q_ALLOCATED, &queue->flags);"

then you will never get to double free since we clear the 
NVME_RDMA_Q_ALLOCATED bit in the beginning of nvme_rdma_free_queue.
