Bug Description

== SRU Justification ==

When running the Ubuntu nbd autotest regression test we trip a hang
and then a little later a panic message. There are two upstream
fixes required as this is actually two issues in one. One fix is to
not to shutdown the sock when IRQs are disable and a second to fix is
to race in the nbd ioctl.

== Fix ==

Upstream commits:

23272a6754b81ff6503e09c743bb4ceeeab39997
  nbd: Remove signal usage

1f7b5cf1be4351e60cf8ae7aab976503dd73c5f8
  nbd: Timeouts are not user requested disconnects

0e4f0f6f63d3416a9e529d99febfe98545427b81
  nbd: Cleanup reset of nbd and bdev after a disconnect

c261189862c6f65117eb3b1748622a08ef49c262
  nbd: don't shutdown sock with irq's disabled

97240963eb308d8d21a89c0459822f7ea98463b4
  nbd: fix race in ioctl

The first 3 patches are prerequisites required for the latter two fixes to apply and work correctly. Most of these backports are minor patch wiggles
required because later patches have been applied to the driver in earlier fixes to this driver.

== Regression Potential ==

These fixes just touch nbd, so the regression potential is just limited to this. Secondly, we are pulling in upstream fixes that exist in Bionic and Cosmic kernels, so these are tried and tested fixes.

== Test Case ==

  1. Deploy a node with 4.4 Xenial
  2. Run the ubuntu_nbd_smoke_test

Without the fix, we get hang/crashes. With the fix one can run this test
multiple times without any issues at all.

----

This issue can be reproduced on AMD64 KVM //bare-metal node, s390x zKVM node

The test itself will pass, but the system will hang after a few second.

Steps:
  1. Deploy a node with 4.4 Xenial
  2. Run the ubuntu_nbd_smoke_test

If you have access to the console, you will see that this system actually bumped into a kernel panic:

 Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space

Can reproduce this on a -133 xenial kernel too on Xenial VM. After the test, I ran vmstat 1 and observed the machine just hang after ~20 or so seconds.
