[PATCH] block: Fix leak in bdrv_create_file_fallback()

[PATCH] block: Fix leak in bdrv_create_file_fallback()

[Max Reitz]

@options is leaked by the first two return statements in this function.

Note that blk_new_open() takes the reference to @options even on
failure, so all we need to do to fix the leak is to move the QDict
allocation down to where we actually need it.
