applied, thanks!

For others regarding bump: while this is def. correct it actually increases the
likelihood of a kernel crash with old (<< pve-kernel-5.11.22-3-pve 5.11.22-6)
kernels. As now it was either a crash or a block job error, this patch basically
converts the block job errors into crashes on bad old kernel and into avoiding
a block job error on the OK behavior of resubmitting on EAGAIN on new kernels.
Those that saw neither crash nor block job errors won't notice a difference
either way.
