We met a crash issue when hot-insert a nvme device, blk_mq_tag_to_rq()
returned null(req=null), then crash happened in nvme_end_request():
	req = blk_mq_tag_to_rq();
        struct nvme_request *rq = nvme_req(req); //rq = req + 1
        rq->result = result;  <==crash here!!!

        [ 1125.788100]  common_interrupt+0xf/0xf

The analysis of the possible cause of above crash as below.

According to our test, in nvme_pci_enable(), 'dev->q_depth' is set to 1024,
in nvme_create_io_queues()->nvme_alloc_queue(), 'nvmeq->q_depth' is set to
'dev->q_depth'. In nvme_dev_add(), 'dev->tagset.queue_depth' is set to 1023:
         dev->tagset.queue_depth = min_t(unsigned int, dev->q_depth, BLK_MQ_MAX_DEPTH) - 1;
					//why -1?? first involved by commit a4aea562
In nvme_alloc_queue(), 'nvmeq->q_depth' is set to dev->q_depth'.
So we got below values for mutiple depth:
dev->q_depth            = 1024
dev->tagset.queue_depth = 1023
nvmeq->q_depth          = 1024

In blk_mq_alloc_rqs(), it allocated 1023(dev->tagset.queue_depth) rqs for
one hw queue. In nvme_alloc_queue(), it allocated 1024(nvmeq->q_depth)
cqes for nvmeq->cqes[]. When process cqe in nvme_handle_cqe(), it get it by:
	struct nvme_completion *cqe = &nvmeq->cqes[idx];

We also added below prints in nvme_handle_cqe() and blk_mq_tag_to_rq():
	static inline void nvme_handle_cqe(struct nvme_queue *nvmeq, u16 idx)
	{
		volatile struct nvme_completion *cqe = &nvmeq->cqes[idx];
		struct request *req;

		//debug print
		dev_warn(nvmeq->dev->ctrl.device,
			"command_id %d completed on queue %d, nvmeq q_depth %d, nvme tagset q_depth %d\n",
		 	 cqe->command_id, le16_to_cpu(cqe->sq_id),
			 nvmeq->q_depth, nvmeq->dev->tagset.queue_depth);

		if (unlikely(cqe->command_id >= nvmeq->q_depth)) {
			dev_warn(nvmeq->dev->ctrl.device,
				"invalid id %d completed on queue %d\n",
				cqe->command_id, le16_to_cpu(cqe->sq_id));
			return;
		}

		... ...

		req = blk_mq_tag_to_rq(nvme_queue_tagset(nvmeq), cqe->command_id);
		... ...
	}

	struct request *blk_mq_tag_to_rq(struct blk_mq_tags *tags, unsigned int tag)
	{
		//debug print
		printk("tag, nr_tags:%d %d\n", tag, tags->nr_tags);
		if (tag < tags->nr_tags) {
			prefetch(tags->rqs[tag]);
			return tags->rqs[tag];
		}

		return NULL;
	}

According to the output, we know the max tag number(nr_tags) is 1023,  but
nvmeq->q_depth is 1024 and nvmeq->cqes[] has 1024 cqes. So if command_id(tag)
is 1023, the judgement "if (unlikely(cqe->command_id >= nvmeq->q_depth))"
in nvme_handle_cqe() is useless, we will get a null pointer, which is returned
by blk_mq_tag_to_rq():
	[   16.649973] nvme nvme0: command_id 968 completed on queue 13, nvmeq q_depth 1024, nvme tagset q_depth 1023
	[   16.649974] tag, nr_tags:968 1023

This patch is to make command_id match to its correct upper limit
'nvmeq->dev->tagset.queue_depth', not nvmeq->q_depth. So even if
we got 1023 of command_id, we can avoid a null pointer deference.
