This is a partial revert of commits 77542d4314 and bc79c87bcd.
Usually, an error during initialisation means that the configuration was
wrong. Reconnecting won't make the error go away, but just turn the
error condition into an endless loop. Avoid this and return errors
again.
Additionally, calling vhost_user_blk_disconnect() from the chardev event
handler could result in use-after-free because none of the
initialisation code expects that the device could just go away in the
middle. So removing the call fixes crashes in several places.
For example, using a num-queues setting that is incompatible with the
backend would result in a crash like this (dereferencing dev->opaque,
which is already NULL):

Note that this removes the ability to reconnect during initialisation
(but not during operation) when there is no permanent error, but the
backend restarts, as the implementation was buggy. This feature can be
added back in a follow-up series after changing error paths to
distinguish cases where retrying could help from cases with permanent
errors.
