The return value of bdrv_open() is a negative errno.  -1 does not make
sense in this case.

Please add an int return value to bdrv_append_temp_snapshot() so the
caller can determine the real errno.  Then the remainder of the patch
can be:

     if (snapshot_flags) {
-        bdrv_append_temp_snapshot(bs, snapshot_flags, &local_err);
+        ret = bdrv_append_temp_snapshot(bs, snapshot_flags, &local_err);
         if (local_err) {
-            error_propagate(errp, local_err);
             goto close_and_fail;
         }
     }
