block: Improve error message when external snapshot can't flush

external_snapshot_action() reports bdrv_flush() failure to its caller
as

    An IO error has occurred

The errno code returned by bdrv_flush() is lost.

Improve this to

    Write to node '<device or node name>' failed: <description of errno>
