If some errors has occurred on the device, and the orphan list not empty, then mount the device with 'ro', the bdev write error check will failed: ext4_check_bdev_write_error:193: comm mount: Error while async write back metadata Since the sbi->s_bdev_wb_err wouldn't be initialized when mount file system with 'ro', when clean up the orphan list and access the iloc buffer, bdev write error check will failed. So we should always initialize the sbi->s_bdev_wb_err even if mount the file system with 'ro'.
