bdrv_*() APIs expect a valid BlockDriverState. Calling them with bs=NULL leads to undefined behavior.
Jonathan Cameron reported this following NULL pointer dereference when a VM with a virtio-blk device and a memory-backend-file object is terminated: 1. qemu_cleanup() closes all drives, setting blk->root to NULL 2. qemu_cleanup() calls user_creatable_cleanup(), which results in a RAM block notifier callback because the memory-backend-file is destroyed. 3. blk_unregister_buf() is called by virtio-blk's BlockRamRegistrar notifier callback and undefined behavior occurs.
