[PATCH 03/10] nbd: Remove 'harderror' and propagate error properly

From: Markus Pargmann
Date: Mon Jul 27 2015 - 03:13:24 EST


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.
