In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nbd: call genl_unregister_family() first in nbd_cleanup()
Otherwise there may be race between module removal and the handling of
netlink command, which can lead to the oops as shown below:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000098
