This patch series fixes the following

1) fix might_sleep warning on socket shutdown:
Fix sock_shutdown to avoid calling kernel_sock_shutdown
while holding spin_lock.

2)fix various coding standard warnings
Make shutdown get called in a process context instead, using
system_wq.

3) make nbd device wait for its users.
When a timeout or error occurs then nbd driver simply kills
the block device. Many filesystem(s) example ext2/ext3 don't
expect their buffer heads to disappear like that. Fix this
by making nbd device wait for its users.

4) use device_attr macros for sysfs attribute
use DEVICE_ATTR_RO for sysfs pid attribute.
