We cannot add a socket to an already running nbd device, the reconfigure
for netlink can only active dead socket. But for ioctl path, we can call
NBD_SET_SOCK after NBD_DO_IT, reject this using nbd->pid which has been
setted when NBD_DO_IT. Besides, it is the root cause for commit
b98e762e3d71 ("nbd: freeze the queue while we're adding connections").
