What do you think:
```
nbd: must reclassify socket when socket is created
When we need to connect or reconnect a new socket, we need to call
nbd_reclassify_socket() to ensure that a false positive lock_dep
circular warning fires. Inside nbd_add_socket(), after nbd_get_socket()
call he already call nbd_reclassify_socket(). However inside
nbd_genl_reconnect_sock_cb() the nbd_reclassify_socket() must be called
too and this is not doing.
To ensure that even when nbd_get_socket() is called the
nbd_reclassify_socket() will be called to, put the
nbd_reclassify_socket() inside nbd_get_socket().
Move the nbd_get_socket() bellow of nbd_reclassify_socket().
nbd_add_socket() no longer needs to do it.
```

No , I couldn't do it :(
