Here's a patch to fix a race condition in nbd that was causing struct request corruption (requests were being freed while still in use). This patch improves on the previous one, which admittedly was a bit dodgy, using struct request's ref_count field (I should have listened to Jens in the first place :). This should fix all the corner cases related to struct request usage/freeing in nbd. My stress tests do a lot better with this patch applied.
