nbd: don't warn when reclassifying a busy socket lock
nbd_reclassify_socket() warns via WARN_ON_ONCE() if the socket lock is held at the point of reclassification. That assertion was copied from nvme-tcp, where the socket is created internally by the kernel (sock_create_kern()) and is never visible to user space, so the lock is guaranteed to be free. NBD is different: the socket is looked up from a user-supplied fd in nbd_get_socket(), and user space retains that fd. A concurrent syscall on the same socket (or softirq processing taking bh_lock_sock() on a connected TCP socket) can legitimately hold the lock at the instant NBD reclassifies it. sock_allow_reclassification() then returns false and the WARN_ON_ONCE() fires, which turns into a crash under panic_on_warn. This is reachable by simply racing NBD_CMD_CONNECT against socket activity on the same fd, as reported by syzbot. Hitting a held lock here is expected for an externally owned socket and is not a kernel bug, so skip reclassification silently instead of warning. Reclassification is a lockdep-only annotation, so skipping it in the rare racing case is harmless.
