Subject: [PATCH RESEND] nbd: avoid losing pointer to reallocated
 config->socks in nbd_add_socket

In the (very unlikely) case of config->socks reallocation success
and nsock allocation failure config->nsock will not get updated
with the new pointer to socks array. Fix it by updating config->socks
right after reallocation successfulness check.
