From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Previously nbd_index_mutex was held during whole add/remove/lookup
operations in order to guarantee that partially initialized devices are
not reachable via idr_find() or idr_for_each(). But now that partially
initialized devices become reachable as soon as idr_alloc() succeeds,
we need to skip partially initialized devices. Since it seems that
all functions use refcount_inc_not_zero(&nbd->refs) in order to skip
destroying devices, update nbd->refs from zero to non-zero as the last
step of device initialization in order to also skip partially initialized
devices.
Fixes: 6e4df4c64881 ("nbd: reduce the nbd_index_mutex scope")
