[PATCH 04/10] nbd: Remove 'harderror' and propagate error properly

[Markus Pargmann <mpa@pengutronix.de>]

Instead of a variable 'harderror' we can simply try to correctly
propagate errors to the userspace.

This patch removes the harderror variable and passes errors through
error pointers and nbd_do_it back to the userspace.
