Although the function block_job_get() can return NULL, it would be a serious bug if it did so (because the job yields before executing anything (if it started successfully); but otherwise, commit_active_start() would have returned an error). However, as a precaution, before dereferencing the 'job' pointer in img_commit() assert it is not NULL.
