Subject: nbd: handle interrupted sendmsg with a sndtimeo set

From: Josef Bacik <[email protected]>

commit 32e67a3a06b88904155170560b7a63d372b320bd upstream.

If you do not set sk_sndtimeo you will get -ERESTARTSYS if there is a pending signal when you enter sendmsg, which we handle properly. However if you set a timeout for your commands we'll set sk_sndtimeo to that timeout, which means that sendmsg will start returning -EINTR instead of -ERESTARTSYS. Fix this by checking either cases and doing the correct thing.

Fixes dc88e34d69d8 ("nbd: set sk->sk_sndtimeo for our sockets")
