Looks like a dead assignment to local_err.  But I see elsewhere you add
it, because you convert straight-line code into loops where it matters.

Coroutine functions should generally have '_co_' in their name.  I'd
prefer nbd_co_reconnect_loop.

Exponential backup, ok.  If I read the loop correctly, you've hardcoded
the max_timeout at 16s, which means the overall timeout is about 30s
when adding in the time of the earlier iterations.  Does that need to be
tunable?  But for now I can live with it.

Is 'continue' right, even if s->state == QUIT?

Could be fun in concert with your proposal to get rid of local_err ;)
But here, we aren't using error_propagate().

We're getting really close.  If you can answer my questions above, and
the only thing left is adding _co_ in the function name, I could tweak
that locally to spare you a v10.  At any rate, I'm tentatively queuing
this on my NBD tree; I'll probably do a pull request today without it,
and save it for next week's PR after I've had a week to hammer on it in
local tests.
