This fixes errors with utilities (such as LVM's vgscan) that try to scan all
devices.  Previously this would generate read errors when uninitialized nbd
devices were scanned:

# vgscan
   Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
   /dev/nbd0: read failed after 0 of 1024 at 0: Input/output error
   /dev/nbd0: read failed after 0 of 1024 at 509804544: Input/output error
   /dev/nbd0: read failed after 0 of 2048 at 0: Input/output error
   /dev/nbd1: read failed after 0 of 1024 at 509804544: Input/output error
   /dev/nbd1: read failed after 0 of 2048 at 0: Input/output error

 From now on, uninitialized nbd devices will have size zero, which
prevents these errors.
