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.
Fixes: bc71726c7257 ("ext4: abort the filesystem if failed to async write metadata buffer")
