OCaml 5 is stricter than earlier versions about correct locking.
We must release the OCaml runtime lock when calling nbd_close since it
may do some long-running operations and we want to allow concurrent
threads to run.
However specifically if there are callbacks (eg. a debug callback)
then we would end up trying to re-acquire the lock in the callback,
resulting in a crash:
