Hi Jason,

We tried to remove vq poll from wait queue, but do not check whether
or not it was in a list before. This will lead double free. Fixing
this by checking poll->wqh to make sure it was in a list.

This text seems at odds with the code below, instead of checking
poll-whq, you are removing that check...

Maybe the text needs rewording?

Thanks,

Darren.
