The logical relationship of this error is as follows:

                   aer_recover_work                    |             ent->work
------------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------

               |- unlock cmd->alloc_lock               |  |- cmd->ent_arr[ent->idx] = ent

The cmd->ent_arr[ent->idx] assignment and the bit clearing are not protected by the cmd->alloc_lock in cmd_work_handler().
