Subject: [PATCH 4.14 201/218] nbd: call genl_unregister_family() first in nbd_cleanup()

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@...wei.com>

[ Upstream commit 06c4da89c24e7023ea448cadf8e9daf06a0aae6e ]

Otherwise there may be race between module removal and the handling of
netlink command, which can lead to the oops as shown below:
