block: bdrv_aio_* do not return NULL

Initially done with the following semantic patch:

@ rule1 @
expression E;
statement S;
@@
  E =
(
   bdrv_aio_readv
|  bdrv_aio_writev
|  bdrv_aio_flush
|  bdrv_aio_discard
|  bdrv_aio_ioctl
)
     (...);
(
- if (E == NULL) { ... }
|
- if (E)
    { <... S ...> }
)

which however missed the occurrence in block/blkverify.c
(as it should have done), and left behind some unused
variables.
