Not really any more. "No medium" is blk->root == NULL. These days
bs->drv == NULL basically means "the backend is broken". This happens
after qcow2_signal_corruption(), and I'm not sure if we have more
circumstances like it.

Sounds like we should write a test case and then fix it.

I guess we could philosophise about the theoretically right thing to do,
but last time I checked, host_cdrom didn't support snapshots, so it
probably doesn't matter either way.
