Subject: [v3] nbd: fix potential NULL pointer fault in nbd_genl_disconnect

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 a check for a non null task_recv in
nbd_genl_disconnect.

v1 -> v2:
Add an omitted mutex_unlock.

v2 -> v3:
Add nbd->config_lock, suggested by Josef.
