Thank you for reviewing. 

I'm about to resend this patch (know series) and have 
only argue about this place. I can't just set port at the beginning. In this
case if nbdPort is specified nbd server will not be started. I hesitating
on how to change this place with less nesting (which looks like the problem)
and finally decided to split this cycle. Basically we want to delay starting
ndb server until we found we have some disks to migrate. Let's check 
this condition separately. In this case we could move logic of starting
nbd server out of the cycle. After that port acquring and nbd starting logic could
be written sequentially without using of extra flags of extra nesting.
