CVE-2022-49297: linux kernel — Fix

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nbd: fix io hung while disconnecting device In our tests, "qemu-nbd" triggers a io hung: INFO: task qemu-nbd:11445 blocked for more than 368 seconds.

Then, "qemu-nbd -d" will call ioctl 'NBD_CLEAR_SOCK', however ioctl can't clear requests after commit 2516ab1543fd("nbd: only clear the queue on device teardown"). And in the meantime, request can't complete through timeout because nbd_xmit_timeout() will always return 'BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER', which means such request will never be completed in this situation. Now that the flag 'NBD_CMD_INFLIGHT' can make sure requests won't complete multiple times, switch back to call nbd_clear_sock() in nbd_clear_sock_ioctl(), so that inflight requests can be cleared.
