Oh, sorry.

I guess the option is intended to be only for disk image, because
open(2) for nbd device file doesn't care about the option.

Nonetheless, extending the option to operations to nbd device file
makes sense, because the option allows to open nbd device
file without write permission.

So I'll correct it as well as fixing the problems you pointed out.
