No, it doesn't. I could not apply this patch alone, so I applied the entire series
on top of next-20210813 and gave it another try.

f53c2d11ac98 (HEAD -> master) nbd: reduce the nbd_index_mutex scope
f2f5254b356f nbd: refactor device search and allocation in nbd_genl_connect
d5b03177e069 nbd: return the allocated nbd_device from nbd_dev_add
350b3f6a6e6b nbd: remove nbd_del_disk
49efbeb9de86 nbd: refactor device removal
cdd920eb7cf2 nbd: do del_gendisk() asynchronously for NBD_DESTROY_ON_DISCONNECT
4b358aabb93a (tag: next-20210813, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Add linux-next specific files for 20210813
