Let me rephrase the changelog a little bit for better readability:

Consider a situation when a filesystem was uncleanly shutdown and the orphan
list is not empty and a read-only mount is attempted. The orphan list
cleanup during mount will fail with:

ext4_check_bdev_write_error:193: comm mount: Error while async write back metadata

This happens because sbi->s_bdev_wb_err is not initialized when mounting
the filesystem in read only mode and so ext4_check_bdev_write_error()
falsely triggers.

Initialize sbi->s_bdev_wb_err unconditionally to avoid this problem.

Otherwise the patch looks good so feel free to add:
