Subject: [PATCH v4 18/18] make nbd device wait for its users in case of timeout

When a timeout occurs or a recv fails, then
instead of abruplty killing nbd block device
wait for it's users to finish.

This is more required when filesystem(s) like
ext2 or ext3 don't expect their buffer heads to
disappear while the filesystem is mounted.

The change is described below:
a) Add a users count to nbd_device structure.
b) Add a bit flag to nbd_device structure of unsigned long.

If the current user count is not 1 then make nbd-client wait
for the in_use bit to be cleared.
