We currently do not guard everywhere against a NULL bs->drv where we
should be doing so. Most of the places fixed here just do not care
about that case at all.
Some care implicitly, e.g. through a prior function call to
bdrv_getlength() which would always fail for an ejected BDS. Add an
assert there to make it more obvious.
Other places seem to care, but do so insufficiently: Freeing clusters in
a qcow2 image is an error-free operation, but it may leave the image in
an unusable state anyway. Giving qcow2_free_clusters() an error code is
not really viable, it is much easier to note that bs->drv may be NULL
even after a successful driver call. This concerns bdrv_co_flush(), and
the way the check is added to bdrv_co_pdiscard() (in every iteration
instead of only once).
Finally, some places employ at least an assert(bs->drv); somewhere, that
may be reasonable (such as in the reopen code), but in
bdrv_has_zero_init(), it is definitely not. Returning 0 there in case
of an ejected BDS saves us much headache instead.
