Sure, but I would consider this a strict improvement as asking for the
paused status of NULL should be an error, not zero.

Anyway, this function exists almost entirely for the sake of blockdev,
so deleting it out of the public jobs interface isn't a very nice thing
to do.

The "proper" thing might be to add *errp, but that's a lot of paint for
a really tiny shed.

"IMO, etc." I've already spent more time on this email than it'd take to
code that, so whichever way the wind blows is fine with me.
