[PATCH] block/backup: drop dead code from backup_job_create

[PATCH] block/backup: drop dead code from backup_job_create

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

After commit 00e30f05de1d195, there is no more "goto error" points
after job creation, so after "error:" @job is always NULL and we don't
need roll-back job creation.

Hi Vladimir,

I don't know this code very well, but IIUC only block_job_add_bdrv() could
fail after the job creation, but this shouldn't happen because "Required
permissions are already taken by backup-top target", so it seems safe
for me:
