Using this version of the patch, I ran into this crash after 36
hours of scsi-mq testing over the weekend.

The test was running heavy traffic to four scsi-mq based devices:
* fio running 4 KiB random reads 
  * ioengine=libaio
  * not using userspace_reap=1
* mkfs.ext4 and e2fsck, generating huge write bursts

io_submit_one triggered an NMI:

io_submit_one+0x174 is offset 0x1f94.  Per objdump -drS aio.o,
that's code from put_reqs_available inlined into refill_reqs_available
inlined into io_submit_one.
