[PATCH v6 1/2] nbd: Fix NULL pointer in flush_workqueue

[Sun Ke]

Open /dev/nbdX first, the config_refs will be 1 and
the pointers in nbd_device are still null. Disconnect
/dev/nbdX, then reference a null recv_workq. The
protection by config_refs in nbd_genl_disconnect is useless.

To fix it, just add if (nbd->recv_workq) to nbd_disconnect_and_put().

v6: add if (nbd->recv_workq) to nbd_disconnect_and_put()
v5: add “Suggested-by”
v4: Share exception handling code for if branches
v3: Do not use unlock and add put_nbd.
v2: Use jump target unlock.
