[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 04/11] blockdev: drop redundant proto_drv check

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

It is not necessary to check that we can find a protocol block driver
since we create or open the image file.  This produces the error that we
need anyway.

Besides, the QERR_INVALID_BLOCK_FORMAT is inappropriate since the
protocol is incorrect rather than the format.

Also drop an empty line between bdrv_open() and checking its return
value.  This may be due to copy-pasting from earlier code that performed
other operations before handling errors.
