I think the bdrv_unref() should really be part of blk_detach_bs().

The same way it would be more logical to have bdrv_ref() as part of
blk_attach_bs(). For blk_new_with_bs() this might mean bdrv_new,
blk_attach_bs, bdrv_unref, which looks a bit odd, but if blk_attach_bs()
is ever called from somewhere else, it probably makes more sense (if it
isn't, it should be static).
