nvmet-auth: complete a request only after freeing the dhchap pointers



It may happen that the work to destroy a queue
(for example nvmet_tcp_release_queue_work()) is started while
an auth-send or auth-receive command is still completing.

nvmet_sq_destroy() will block, waiting for all the references
to the sq to be dropped, the last reference is then
dropped when nvmet_req_complete() is called.

When this happens, both nvmet_sq_destroy() and
nvmet_execute_auth_send()/_receive() will free the dhchap pointers by
calling nvmet_auth_sq_free().
Since there isn't any lock, the two threads may race against each other,
causing double frees and memory corruptions, as reported by KASAN.

Fix this bug by calling nvmet_req_complete() only after freeing the
pointers, so we will prevent the race by holding the sq reference.

V2: remove redundant code
