If the userspace process crashes while we send the nl msg, it is possible
that the cmd in curr_nl_cmd of tcmu_dev never gets reset to 0, and and
returns busy for other commands after the userspace process is restartd.
More details below:
/backstores/user:file/file> set attribute dev_size=2048
Cannot set attribute dev_size: [Errno 3] No such process
/backstores/user:file/file> set attribute dev_size=2048
Cannot set attribute dev_size: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy
with following kernel messages:
[173605.747169] Unable to reconfigure device
[173616.686674] tcmu daemon: command reply support 1.
[173623.866978] netlink cmd 3 already executing on file
[173623.866984] Unable to reconfigure device
Also, it is not safe to leave the nl_cmd in the list, and not get deleted.
This patch removes the nl_cmd from the list, and clear its data if it is
not sent successfully.
