nbd: Add locking for tasks
The timeout handling introduced in
7e2893a16d3e (nbd: Fix timeout detection)
introduces a race condition which may lead to killing of tasks that are
not in nbd context anymore. This was not observed or reproducable yet.
This patch adds locking to critical use of task_recv and task_send to
avoid killing tasks that already left the NBD thread functions. This
lock is only acquired if a timeout occures or the nbd device
starts/stops.
