Zheng Qixing 91fa560c73 nbd: fix uaf in nbd_genl_connect() error path
[ Upstream commit aa9552438e ]

There is a use-after-free issue in nbd:

block nbd6: Receive control failed (result -104)
block nbd6: shutting down sockets

nbd_genl_connect() does not properly stop the device on certain
error paths after nbd_start_device() has been called. This causes
the error path to put nbd->config while recv_work continue to use
the config after putting it, leading to use-after-free in recv_work.

This patch moves nbd_start_device() after the backend file creation.
