Answering myself: patch 9 inlines nbd_co_receive_reply into its lone
caller, eliminating the need for a forward reference, and it is less
code churn to have a temporary forward declaration than it is to move
the function body up and then back down.  (Maybe the commit message
could hint that nbd_co_receive_reply will later be inlined)
