rename err() function to avoid clashing with err() form C library err() is a function available in the C library, so when static linking, there is a clash at link timebecause the function is provided both by nbd and the C library: http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/aa8/aa8a1ac35a93e1c8b9fddbc2b5d66ecaa921f31e/build-end.log Fix that by renaming err() to nbd_err() and providing a small maco wrapper to avoid touching the many call sites.
