nvmet-tcp: fix a race condition between release_queue and io_work

If the initiator executes a reset controller operation while
performing I/O, the target kernel will crash because of a race condition
between release_queue and io_work;
nvmet_tcp_uninit_data_in_cmds() may be executed while io_work
is running, calling flush_work() was not sufficient to
prevent this because io_work could requeue itself.

Fix this bug by using cancel_work_sync() to prevent io_work
from requeuing itself and set rcv_state to NVMET_TCP_RECV_ERR to
make sure we don't receive any more data from the socket.
