[PATCHv2 4/4] Remove erroneous setting of return value to errno.

[Laine Stump <laine@xxxxxxxxx>]

One error exit in virStorageBackendCreateBlockFrom was setting the
return value to errno. The convention for volume build functions is to
return 0 on success or -1 on failure. Not only was it not necessary to
set the return value (it defaults to -1, and is set to 0 when
everything has been successfully completed), in the case that some
caller were checking for < 0 rather than != 0, they would incorrectly
believe that it completed successfully.
