When a nbd device encounters a writeback error, that error will get propagated to the bd_inode's wb_err field. Then if this nbd device's backend is disconnected and another is attached, we will get back the previous writeback error on fsync, which is unexpected. To fix it, let's clear out the wb_err on disconnect.
