nbd: Reclassify sockets to avoid lockdep circular dependency

Browse source

syzbot reported a possible circular locking dependency in udp_sendmsg()
where fs_reclaim can be triggered while holding sk_lock, and fs_reclaim
can eventually depend on another sk_lock (e.g., if NBD is used for swap
or writeback and NBD uses TLS/TCP which acquires sk_lock).

Since the UDP socket and the NBD TCP/TLS socket are different, this is a
false positive. Fix this by reclassifying NBD sockets to a separate lock
class when they are added to the NBD device.

This is similar to what nvme-tcp and other network block devices do.

Fixes: ffa1e7ada4 ("block: Make request_queue lockdep splats show up earlier")
