null_blk: fix command timeout completion handling

Memory backed or zoned null block devices may generate actual request
timeout errors due to the submission path being blocked on memory
allocation or zone locking. Unlike fake timeouts or injected timeouts,
the request submission path will call blk_mq_complete_request() or
blk_mq_end_request() for these real timeout errors, causing a double
completion and use after free situation as the block layer timeout
handler executes blk_mq_rq_timed_out() and __blk_mq_free_request() in
blk_mq_check_expired(). This problem often triggers a NULL pointer
dereference such as:

This problem very often triggers when running the full btrfs xfstests
on a memory-backed zoned null block device in a VM with limited amount
of memory.

Avoid this by executing blk_mq_complete_request() in null_timeout_rq()
only for commands that are marked for a fake timeout completion using
the fake_timeout boolean in struct null_cmd. For timeout errors injected
through debugfs, the timeout handler will execute
blk_mq_complete_request()i as before. This is safe as the submission
path does not execute complete requests in this case.

In null_timeout_rq(), also make sure to set the command error field to
BLK_STS_TIMEOUT and to propagate this error through to the request
completion.
