This looks strange now, without the direct connection to
bdrv_open_image(). I'd drop this...

And make this file = bs->file_child ? bs->file_child->bs : NULL (or the
respective long form, i.e.
if (bs->file_child) { ... } else { file = NULL; }).

We could even put this after this if block and drop the NULL
initialization of file, but that might go overboard.
