    ploop: fix typo in ploop_pb_get_first_req_from_tree
    
    Due to a typo, local pointer was defined as static leading to a nasty race:
    
    1. Thread A (handling ploopN) initializes that pointer
    2. Thread B (handling ploopM) re-initialize the same pointer
    3. Thread A proceeds with using the pointer that currently points to
    some request belonging to ploopM.
    
    Hence data (ploop requests) leaked from one ploop device to another
    leading to list corruption.
