This happens because of a race condition between:
- The 9p client sending an invalid flush request and later cleaning it up; - The 9p client in p9readwork() canceled all pending requests.

Commit 74d6a5d56629 ("9p/transfd: Fix concurrency del of reqlist in p9fdcancelled/p9readwork") fixes a concurrency issue in the 9p filesystem client where the reqlist could be deleted simultaneously by both p9readwork and p9fdcancelled functions, but for the case where req->status equals REQSTATUSRCVD.
Update the check for req->status in p9fdcancelled to skip processing not just received requests, but anything that is not SENT, as whatever changed the state from SENT also removed the request from its list.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
[updated the check from status == RECV || status == ERROR to status != SENT]
