nbd: remove queue freeze in nbd_add_socket

Browse source

nbd_add_socket() kreallocs config->socks, which a concurrent reader in
nbd_handle_cmd() could UAF; commit b98e762e3d ("nbd: freeze the queue
while we're adding connections")froze the queue to block that.  But the
freeze costs an RCU grace period on every socket added, and setup adds
them one by one.

After the previous patch, nbd_add_socket() is rejected once nbd->pid is
set, so it only runs during setup.  There the capacity is 0 and the
write cache is off (cleared on disconnect by the preceding patch, and
re-enabled only later in nbd_set_size), so submit_bio_noacct() rejects
every bio before it reaches the driver -- non-zero-sector ones via
bio_check_eod(), and flush-only ones via the !bdev_write_cache() branch.
No I/O is in flight, so the freeze is unnecessary.
