Given that ioc_destroy_icq() calls ioc_exit_icq(), ioc_exit_icqs() should ignore
all icqs that have been destroyed already, otherwise, ioc_exit_icq() gets called
twice for the same icq. The missing rcu lock in ioc_exit_icqs() already was in
itself a bug, and the missing flag check is another.

Pradeep, this needs a Fixes tag and cc-stable I think.
