[Qemu-devel] [PULL 09/28] block: Simplify bdrv_append_temp_snapshot() logic

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

From: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

Noticed while checking Coccinelle results. Naming a label 'out:'
when it is only used on error paths is weird.  Also, we had some
dead stores to 'ret'.  Meanwhile we know that snapshot_options
is NULL on success and that QDECREF(NULL) is safe.  So merge the
two exit paths into one by careful control over bs_snapshot.
