nvmet_pci_epf_exec_iod_work() submits an I/O command with req->execute()
and then waits for the command to complete and transfers the data back
to the host. This wait is not needed for commands that do not transfer
data from the device to the host. To decide whether that wait is needed,
it reads iod->data_len and iod->dma_dir after calling req->execute().
However, once req->execute() is called, the command may complete
asynchronously on another CPU. For commands that do not require a
device-to-host data transfer, nvmet_pci_epf_queue_response() calls
nvmet_pci_epf_complete_iod() directly, which can free the iod before it
reads iod->data_len and iod->dma_dir, resulting in the KFENCE use-after-
free:

Fix this by referring to iod->data_len and iod->dma_dir before calling
req->execute(). The remaining iod accesses such as iod->status are only
reached on the device-to-host read path. In this case,
nvmet_pci_epf_queue_response() signals iod->done instead of freeing the
iod, so the iod stays valid.
