    nbd: change a parameter's type to remove a memcpy call
    
    This memcpy looks so strange, in fact it's merely a pointer dereference, so 
I
    change the parameter's type to refer it more directly, this could make the
    memcpy not needed anymore.
    
    In the function nbd_read_stat where nbd_find_request is only once called, 
the
    parameter served should be transformed accordingly.
