Since the UBLK_CMD_UPDATE_SIZE\nhandler performs no state validation, a user can trigger a NULL pointer\ndereference by sending UPDATE_SIZE to a device that has been added but\nnot yet started, or one that has been stopped.\n\nFix this by checking ub->ub_disk under ub->mutex before dereferencing\nit, and returning -ENODEV if the disk is not available."
