Because qemu-nbd does not install a handler for relinquishing its 
reference, it has to make sure it drops that reference before a 
bdrv_close_all() occurs. Therefore, err() and errx() calls after 
blk_new_open() (except for the if (!blk) path) and before blk_unref(blk, 
NULL) need to be preceded by a blk_unref(blk, NULL).

I'll fix it in v3.
