[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 1/2] block: fix dangling bs->explicit_options in block.c

[Manos Pitsidianakis <el13635@mail.ntua.gr>]

In some error paths it is possible to QDECREF a freed dangling
explicit_options, resulting in a heap overflow crash.  For example
bdrv_open_inherit()'s fail unrefs it, then calls bdrv_unref which calls
bdrv_close which also unrefs it.
