No, if bdrv_snapshot_delete() can fail, you need to split it in two
parts: one that can fail, and one that cannot.  If you cannot, then
there are two possibilities:

- if the failures are minor and could be repaired with "qemu-img check -r"
(e.g. lost clusters), then this is not optimal but can still be done;

- otherwise, the operation simply cannot be made transactionable.

In the case of qcow2_snapshot_delete, everything except

    ret = bdrv_pwrite_sync(bs->file, offsetof(QCowHeader, nb_snapshots),
                           &header_data, sizeof(header_data));
    if (ret < 0) {
        goto fail;
    }

must be in the prepare phase.  Everything after "fail" (which right now
is nothing, but it should at least undo the qcow2_alloc_clusters operation)
must be in the rollback phase.  Everything in the middle is the commit
phase.
