drbd: Fixed a race between disk-attach and unexpected state changes
This was a very hard to trigger race condition. If we got a state packet from the peer, after drbd_nl_disk() has already changed the disk state to D_NEGOTIATING but after_state_ch() was not yet run by the worker, then receive_state() might called drbd_sync_handshake(), which in turn crashed when accessing p_uuid.
