NBD Cleanup patch and bugfix in ll_rw_blk.c

[Steve Whitehouse]

Hi,

Here is a new version of the patch I recently sent to the list with some 
NBD cleanups and a bug fix in ll_rw_blk.c. The changes to NBD have Pavel 
Machek's approval as I've left out the two changes as he suggested.

The bug fix in ll_rw_blk.c prevents hangs when using block devices which
don't have plugging functions,

Steve.
