[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-3.1] blockdev: Consistently use snapshot_node_name in external_snapshot_prepare()

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

In the function external_snapshot_prepare() we have a
BlockdevSnapshotSync struct, which has the usual combination
of has_snapshot_node_name and snapshot_node_name fields for an
optional field. We set up a local variable
        const char *snapshot_node_name =
            s->has_snapshot_node_name ? s->snapshot_node_name : NULL;

and then mostly use "if (!snapshot_node_name)" for checking
whether we have a snapshot node name. The exception is that in
one place we check s->has_snapshot_node_name instead. This
confuses Coverity (CID 1396473), which thinks it might be
possible to get here with s->has_snapshot_node_name true but
snapshot_node_name NULL, and warns that the call to
qdict_put_str() will segfault in that case.

Make the code consistent and unconfuse Coverity by using
the same check for this conditional that we do in the rest
of the surrounding code.
