block/cow: Avoid use of uninitialized cow_bs in error path
Commit 25814e8987 introduced an error-exit code path which does a "goto exit" before the cow_bs variable is initialized, meaning we would call bdrv_unref() on an uninitialized variable and likely segfault. Fix this by moving the NULL-initialization to the top of the function and making the exit code path handle the case where it is NULL.
