When kzalloc fail, may cause trying to destroy the

If num_connections is m (2 < m), and NO.1 ~ NO.n
(1 < n < m) kzalloc are successful. The NO.(n + 1)
failed. Then, nbd_start_device will return ENOMEM
to nbd_start_device_ioctl, and nbd_start_device_ioctl
will return immediately without running flush_workqueue.
However, we still have n recv threads. If nbd_release
run first, recv threads may have to drop the last
config_refs and try to destroy the workqueue from
inside the workqueue.

To fix it, add a flush_workqueue in nbd_start_device.

Just for readability sake why don't we just flush_workqueue()
unconditionally, and add a comment so we know why in the future.

Or maybe just make it:

	sock_shutdown(nbd);
	if (i)
		flush_workqueue(nbd->recv_workq);

which does the same thing, but is still readable. The current code with
the shutdown duplication is just a bit odd. Needs a comment either way.


OK, I will improve it in my v2 patch.

Thanks,

Sun Ke
