In this case the bug is in the OS design: the driver is required to cancel
all IRPs for a particular file object on IRP_MJ_CLEANUP, but it is not
required to cancel IRPs for the _same_ file object _after_ IRP_MJ_CLEANUP.
It would make sense if the OS guaranteed that the only IRP that might follow
were IRP_MJ_CLOSE, but the latter is not the case.
