Do you have a reproducer for a crash?
Actually, there was no crash. This problem was found by static analyzer.
As far as I can see, it will not be dereferenced, because
blk_is_available() returns false and we return an error before
calling bdrv_commit():
As I see, there are 2 reasons, why blk_bs() may return NULL:
blk->root == NULL or blk->root->bs == NULL
At the same time, blk_is_available() checks for blk_co_is_inserted(blk) and
blk_dev_is_tray_open(blk).
Does it also guarantee that blk->root and blk->root->bs are not NULL?
This is not really obvious.

Maybe, in this case, it makes sense to check blk->root before of checking
blk_is_available()?
