rbd: drop an unsafe assertion
Olivier Bonvalet reported having repeated crashes due to a failed assertion he was hitting in rbd_img_obj_callback(): Assertion failure in rbd_img_obj_callback() at line 2165: rbd_assert(which >= img_request->next_completion); With a lot of help from Olivier with reproducing the problem we were able to determine the object and image requests had already been completed (and often freed) at the point the assertion failed. There was a great deal of discussion on the ceph-devel mailing list about this. The problem only arose when there were two (or more) object requests in an image request, and the problem was always seen when the second request was being completed. The problem is due to a race in the window between setting the "done" flag on an object request and checking the image request's next completion value. When the first object request completes, it checks to see if its successor request is marked "done", and if so, that request is also completed. In the process, the image request's next_completion value is updated to reflect that both the first and second requests are completed. By the time the second request is able to check the next_completion value, it has been set to a value *greater* than its own "which" value, which caused an assertion to fail. Fix this problem by skipping over any completion processing unless the completing object request is the next one expected. Test only for inequality (not >=), and eliminate the bad assertion.
