This one still qualifies as a single use of errp, it's just that script
is now too strict to see it.  Can be cleaned up in a followup, to keep
this patch as strict Coccinelle changes.

Correct to drop this one.

Correct to drop this one (bdrv_lookup_bs() should never set errp when
returning non-NULL, but Coccinelle can't see that).
