If @bs does not have any parents, the only reference to @mirror_top_bs
will be held by the BlockJob object after the bdrv_unref() following
block_job_create(). However, if block_job_create() fails, this reference
will not exist and @mirror_top_bs will have been deleted when we
goto fail.

The issue comes back at all later entries to the fail label: We delete
the BlockJob object before rolling back our changes to the node graph.
This means that we will delete @mirror_top_bs in the process.

All in all, whenever @bs does not have any parents and we go down the
fail path we will dereference @mirror_top_bs after it has been deleted.

Fix this by invoking bdrv_unref() only when block_job_create() was
successful and by bdrv_ref()'ing @mirror_top_bs in the fail path before
deleting the BlockJob object. Finally, bdrv_unref() it at the end of the
fail path after we actually no longer need it.
