nbd: set SOCK_MEMALLOC for access to PFMEMALLOC reserves

Set SOCK_MEMALLOC on the NBD socket to allow access to PFMEMALLOC reserves
so pages backed by NBD, particularly if swap related, can be cleaned to
prevent the machine being deadlocked.  It is still possible that the
PFMEMALLOC reserves get depleted resulting in deadlock but this can be
resolved by the administrator by increasing min_free_kbytes.
