    It seems fairly obvious that device_create_file() is not being protected
    from being run concurrently on the same nbd.
    
    Quentin found the following relevant commits:
    
    1a2ad211 nbd: add locking to nbd_ioctl
    90b8f282 [PATCH] end of methods switch: remove the old ones
    d4430d62 [PATCH] beginning of methods conversion
    08f85851 [PATCH] move block_device_operations to blkdev.h
    
    It would seem that the race was introduced in the process of moving nbd
    from BKL to unlocked ioctls.
    
    By setting nbd->task_recv while the mutex is held, we can prevent other
    processes from running concurrently (since nbd->task_recv is also checked
    while the mutex is held).
