As I mentioned before, blk_mq_tag_to_rq() returns NULL if the tag
exceeds the depth. We already verify the tag prior to calling this
function, so what's the real root cause for how we're winding up with
NULL here? I'm only asking this because it sounds like there's a bug
somewhere else and this change is masking over it.
