Subject: [PATCH] nbd: Check magic before doing anything else
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc4~127

[PATCH] nbd: Check magic before doing anything else

We should check magic sequence in reply packet before trying to find
request with it's request handle.  This also solves the problem with
"Unexpected reply" message beeing logged, when packet with invalid magic is
received.
