t1 isn't supposed to happen when t2 is running.

blk_mq_update_nr_requests() is only called by nbd_start_device().

nbd_start_device():
	        if (nbd->task_recv)
                return -EBUSY;
			...
			nbd->recv_workq = alloc_workqueue()

That means nbd_config_put() has been called and ->config_refs has
dropped to zero, so socket has been shutdown, and ->recv_workq has
been destroyed, so t1 isn't supposed to happen when t2 is running.

Firstly tags->lock can't fix the race[1], secondly it should be addressed
in driver.
