null_blk: fix poll request timeout handling

When doing io_uring benchmark on /dev/nullb0, it's easy to crash the
kernel if poll requests timeout triggered, as reported by David. [1]

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
Workqueue: kblockd blk_mq_timeout_work
RIP: 0010:null_timeout_rq+0x4e/0x91
Call Trace:

This is indeed a race problem between null_timeout_rq() and null_poll().

null_poll()				null_timeout_rq()
  spin_lock(&nq->poll_lock)
  list_splice_init(&nq->poll_list, &list)
  spin_unlock(&nq->poll_lock)

  while (!list_empty(&list))
    req = list_first_entry()
    list_del_init()
    ...
    blk_mq_add_to_batch()
    // req->rq_next = NULL
					spin_lock(&nq->poll_lock)

					// rq->queuelist->next == NULL
					list_del_init(&rq->queuelist)

					spin_unlock(&nq->poll_lock)

Fix these problems by setting requests state to MQ_RQ_COMPLETE under
nq->poll_lock protection, in which null_timeout_rq() can safely detect
this race and early return.

Note this patch just fix the kernel panic when request timeout happen.
