WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

------------------------------------------------------
syz.1.344/5839 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffaf8019912a30 (&nbd->config_lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: refcount_dec_and_mutex_lock+0x60/0xd8 lib/refcount.c:118

but task is already holding lock:
ffffaf8019fae358 (&disk->open_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: bdev_release+0x12c/0x600 block/bdev.c:1128

which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &nbd->config_lock --> &set->update_nr_hwq_lock --> &disk->open_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&disk->open_mutex);
                               lock(&set->update_nr_hwq_lock);
                               lock(&disk->open_mutex);
  lock(&nbd->config_lock);
