at any time.
Still nbd_co_establish_connection() does exactly this: it saves
s->connect_thread to local variable (just for better code style) and
use it even after yield point, when thread may be already detached.
Fix that. Also check thr to be non-NULL on
nbd_co_establish_connection() start for safety.
After this patch "case CONNECT_THREAD_RUNNING_DETACHED" becomes
impossible in the second switch in nbd_co_establish_connection().
Still, don't add extra abort() just before the release. If it somehow
possible to reach this "case:" it won't hurt. Anyway, good refactoring
of all this reconnect mess will come soon.

Hi all! I faced a crash, just running 277 iotest in a loop. I can't
reproduce it on master, it reproduces only on my branch with nbd
reconnect refactorings.
Still, it seems very possible that it may crash under some conditions.
So I propose this patch for 6.0. It's written so that it's obvious that
it will not hurt:
pre-patch, on first hunk we'll just crash if thr is NULL,
on second hunk it's safe to return -1, and using thr when
s->connect_thread is already zeroed is obviously wrong.

Can we please get it merged in 6.0 as it's a genuine crasher fix?
