Subject: [PATCH 3/4] make nbd device wait for its users.

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.

Use a kref for users using this. The device will
be released for kref count of 2, not less or more.
