block: Make bdrv_root_attach_child() unref child_bs on failure

A consequence of the previous patch is that bdrv_attach_child()
transfers the reference to child_bs from the caller to parent_bs,
which will drop it on bdrv_close() or when someone calls
bdrv_unref_child().

But this only happens when bdrv_attach_child() succeeds. If it fails
then the caller is responsible for dropping the reference to child_bs.

This patch makes bdrv_attach_child() take the reference also when
there is an error, freeing the caller for having to do it.

A similar situation happens with bdrv_root_attach_child(), so the
changes on this patch affect both functions.
