From: Max Reitz <mre...@redhat.com> bdrv_open_backing_file() tries to copy the backing file name using pstrcpy directly after calling bdrv_open() to open the backing file without checking whether that was actually successful. If it was not, ps->backing_hd->file will probably be NULL and qemu will crash.
Fix this by moving pstrcpy after checking whether bdrv_open() succeeded.
