bdrv_open_child() may return NULL.
Usually return value is checked for this function.
Check for return value is more reliable.

Did you actually see some failure because of this? If so, what is the
specific case that failed?

Or is this just cleanup based on code inspection?

Hello, Kevin.

This was just cleanup, based on the inspection.

Thanks for clarifying. I've updated the subject line to "vmdk: Clean up
bdrv_open_child() return value check" to avoid misunderstandings and
applied this to my block branch.
