I only had a short cycle on this yet: so the problem is that the req_list list
head is removed twice, which triggers this warning from [lib/list_debug.c].

Probably moving spin_unlock() call back down to the end of function
p9_conn_cancel() might fix this:

spin_unlock() was recently moved up a bit to fix a dead lock, however that
dead lock happened with a lock on client level, meanwhile it was converted
into a lock on connection level.

The question is whether that would fix this for good and not just move it,
because there are a bunch of list removal calls that don't check for the
request state or something to prevent a double removal at other places.
