Hmm - the v4 changelog implies things changed since my review.
Thankfully, this patch still looks sane when looking at just this patch
(what you have is good).  But your comment made me grep the rest of the
source code for ALL bdrv_is_allocated callers (since that's the harder
task - ensuring we didn't forget anything):

block-migration.c uses !bdrv_is_allocated as a condition for a while
loop; should that check for errors?

block/vvfat.c contains an if (bdrv_is_allocated(...)); should that
handle errors?

If you can justify that those don't need changes, then I'm okay with:
