With my other patch then we will not need this right? It handles your
case by just being integrated with the existing checks in:

nbd_disconnect_and_put->nbd_clear_sock->sock_shutdown

...

static void sock_shutdown(struct nbd_device *nbd)
{

....

        if (config->num_connections == 0)
                return;


num_connections is zero for your case since we never did a
nbd_genl_disconnect so we would return here.
