Subject: Linux kernel: linux-block: nbd: use-after-free Read in nbd_queue_rq

Hi, I reported a use-after-free Read bug in ndb_queue_rq() in
drivers/block/nbd.c and reproduced in linux-5.11.0-rc4+ too.

Root Cause:

There is a race condition in nbd ioctl.
NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS ioctl will call nbd_size_set(), it will change the
block size.
NBD_SET_SOCK ioctl will call nbd_add_socket() and it will invoke
krealloc() to update a block, free and realloc a new one.
But nbd_queue_rq() is in runtime. and calls nbd_handle_cmd(), there
will use config->sock. there accesses to config->socks without any locking.

Patch for this issue:
