[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 1/9] block: Drop useless bdrv_new() call

[Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>]

bdrv_append_temp_snapshot() uses bdrv_new() to create an empty BDS
before invoking bdrv_open() on that BDS. This is probably a relict from
when it used to do some modifications on that empty BDS, but now that is
unnecessary, so we can just set bs_snapshot to NULL and let bdrv_open()
do the rest.
