As the comment in qapi/error, passing @errp to error_prepend() requires
ERRP_GUARD():

* = Why, when and how to use ERRP_GUARD() =
*
* Without ERRP_GUARD(), use of the @errp parameter is restricted:
...
* - It should not be passed to error_prepend(), error_vprepend() or
*   error_append_hint(), because that doesn't work with &error_fatal.
* ERRP_GUARD() lifts these restrictions.
*
* To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function.
* @errp can then be used without worrying about the argument being
* NULL or &error_fatal.

ERRP_GUARD() could avoid the case when @errp is &error_fatal, the user
can't see this additional information, because exit() happens in
error_setg earlier than information is added [1].

The qcow2_co_can_store_new_dirty_bitmap() passes @errp to
error_prepend(). As a BlockDriver.bdrv_co_can_store_new_dirty_bitmap
method, it's called by bdrv_co_can_store_new_dirty_bitmap().

Its caller is not being called anywhere, but as the API in
include/block/block-io.h, we can't ensure what kind of @errp future
users will pass in.

To avoid potential issues as [1] said, add missing ERRP_GUARD() at the
beginning of qcow2_co_can_store_new_dirty_bitmap().

[1]: Issue description in the commit message of commit ae7c80a7bd73
     ("error: New macro ERRP_GUARD()").
