Yang Erkun 326d49039c nbd: add pre_defined_connections module parameter for pre-created devices
blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() in nbd_start_device() may cause a queue
freeze.  The previous commit addressed this for newly created nbd
devices by setting the expected nr_hw_queues in nbd_dev_add().  However,
when reusing an old inactive nbd device, the queue freeze can still
occur if the old nbd->tag_set->nr_hw_queues does not match the new
socket connection count.  Inactive nbd devices can originate from two
sources: loading the nbd module with nbds_max, which sets the default
nr_hw_queues to 1, and the netlink method, which sets nr_hw_queues
according to the expected number of socket connections.  For the first
case, add a module parameter so the default nr_hw_queues can be
changed.  Users who know their expected number of connections can then
prevent queue freezes on pre-created devices via nbds_max.
