From: Josef Bacik <jbacik@xxxxxx> If the nbd server stops receiving packets altogether we will get stuck waiting for them to receive indefinitely as the tcp buffer will never empty, which looks like a deadlock. Fix this by setting the sk send timeout to our configured timeout, that way if the server really misbehaves we'll disconnect cleanly instead of waiting forever.
