virtio_pmem_host_ack() wakes a request that has already been freed by the
submitter.
This happens when the request token is still reachable via the virtqueue,
but virtio_pmem_flush() returns and frees it.
Fix the token lifetime by refcounting struct virtio_pmem_request.
virtio_pmem_flush() holds a submitter reference, and the virtqueue holds an
extra reference once the request is queued. The completion path drops the
virtqueue reference, and the submitter drops its reference before
returning.
